My wife is wanting to become a floor official as well.



So now you're a Brontosaurus instead of a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Last at bat you struck out swinging. This at bat is not going so well either.

I see you are still getting things wrong. You see, a Brontosaurus never existed. That creature you refer to was the body of an apatosaurus and the head and feet of a camarasaurus. The head used was actually found many miles away. That's the way paleontologists do things to prove evolution. If they do not have an integral part they will GENERALLY just add something they have laying around that seems to look right. By saying GENERALLY I really mean MOST OF THE TIME.

Ah. Now I know where I got the "body by Arnold" combined with the face of an angel.

Thanks, Preacher.

Guess who fixed it? Scientists. That's how science, and the scientific method, works. Scientists come up with hypotheses, peer review occurs, and other scientists correct incorrect hypotheses.

"Brontosaurus" skeletons were constructed during a time when various museums were competing for customers, and funding, so it was a race to come up with the best fossil displays. Mistakes were made because many scientists acted more like P.T. Barnum, and Indiana Jones, than like true scientists. Not a proud moment for science, but it did generate a lot of interest in dinosaurs. Here in Connecticut, the Peabody Museum, one of those museums in the "race", finally put the correct head on our Apatosaurus several years ago. And they didn't do it in secret, in the middle of the night. It was a big deal, covered by the media, a teachable moment.
