Headline today on Yahoo. Turns out they were talking about dinosaurs.

I feel obligated to post on any T. Rex thread because they turn me on.

Teen Growth Spurts would make a helluva title for a Bolan biography.

He wore those heels, as well. He musta been pretty tall.

When I saw this headline I too thought of Bolan and Co.

When I was a kid I totally would have known it was about dinosaurs. Music makes me stupid.

What's this? They named a dinosaur after a glam rock / proto-punk band?

Does this mean there are other extinct giant lizard species called David Bowie, Mott The Hoople and Roxy Music?

The Bryanus Ferryus once stalked the land...

...and made extinct by toxic clouds of ennui.

The Bryanus Ferryus was a carnivore and an aggressive preditor which preyed on the more placid, grazing Brianosaurus Eno, driving it out of it's original habitat and nearly to the point of extinction - although the Brianosaurus Eno subsequently found a new habitat where it thrived and multiplied.

By the time of the smaller, winged Brianosaurus Molko, it was clear that the reign of the glamosaurs was nearing the end.

Overheard in the slashdot discussion of this:

we can infer that many whales live for over a century because antique bone harpoons have been found in recently killed whales
