Dino Pic of the Week

This is great. I found him on my move out to Salt Lake City back in May (08'). Apparently some of the Sinclair gas stations (which uses an Apatosaurus as its logo) have these little guys sitting out in front.

Dino Pic of the Week

Although this was just mentioned in the Geo-Paleo blog section I thought it pertinent to install it here as well.



I found a website called "Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week" and they did a blog specifically on Star Wars. In particular the Krayt Dragon seen above. The skeleton was seen in the background of A New Hope when C-3PO landed on Tatooine.

In The News - Trying to Sue the Scientific Method

In the News

An Article over at Cracked.com lists some people who have tried to sue the Scientific Method (and thankfully lost).

http://www.cracked.com/article_16896_7-stupid-people-who-sued-scientific-method.html

If you don't feel like reading the entire article here is a brief synopsis.
The lawsuits include:

1. A lawsuit stating the Large Hadron Collider was going to destroy the Earth by a botanist.

2. A lawsuit against testing to verify if voting machines work by the makers of the voting machines.

3. A lawsuit to redefine pi as a number easier to remember. (I see no problem remembering 3.1415926somethingsomethingsomething)

4. A lawsuit stating that water retained all the medicines that have been diluted in it, no matter how diluted the water was.

5. A lawsuit that vitamins cure AIDS. (you have to check out the picture on the page, it is classic)

6. A lawsuit by scientists against the government to change the status of polar bears from threatened to endangered and a counter-suit by oil and steel companies to get it removed all together.

7. And a lawsuit against NASA for putting a 300 kilogram bullet into a comet which caused changes in the natural balance of the universe. (Best quote from the article "Which was awesome, because not nearly enough space missions are directed by Michael Bay.")

Random Geology Pic - View from my Cubicle

Since I have such an awesome view from my work-space for once, I figured I would post it. I have been here since August but this is the first time I thought to bring my camera and take a picture of it. Those are the Wasatch Mountains in the background.

Dino Pic of the Week

I love it. This is the Wedding cake from my Grad School friend over at DinoChick.com. Needless to say this would never have flown at my wedding but I love it none the less.
