I only picked Triceratops because I like curry.

[highlyeccentric]

I really recommend crocodile in a thai-style coconut curry sauce.

I only picked Brontosaurus because I miss when they were Accepted Science.

[highlyeccentric]

Did you not hear? Brontosaurus is BACK, BABY. With a different holotype, I think? Science here!

Then I am changing my vote!

Also re that paper - it sounded like someone upended all of the puzzle boxes and the authors had to engage in the most painstaking construction of a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle ever. Thanks for the link.

Do you know of any good books on the bone wars?

[highlyeccentric]

I do not! I get all my taxonomy news from my gf, a palaentologist.

HOW DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS

ok I guess nobody told me this because that's a. uh. that's some science language, there. I puzzled through but I'm gonna have to take your word for it on that.

Chickens. Birds have holes in their hips, ergo, they're dinosaurs.

[highlyeccentric]

True, but I put it to you that chickens specifically are not the tastiest dinosaurs.

[conuly]

I suppose I do prefer duck myself, but it's so pricey!

All dinosaurs you listed are extinct and you'll get a mouthful of gravel.

I can't believe I forgot to nominate my favourite dinosaur, Dorothy.

I desire context for this question!

Dinosaur nuggets are not gluten-free, but my gf assures me that's just the coating. Dinosaur is naturally gluten-free. Om nom nom dinosaur.
