newly-discovered dinosaur

Quote:
Researchers at the University of Chicago announced today that they've discovered an identified a new dinosaur, Pegomastax africanus. According to 3D imaging done by researchers, the cat-sized dinosaur was covered in bizarre spines like a porcupine. The tall teeth in its upper and lower jaws operated like self-sharpening scissors, with shearing wear facets that slid past one another when the jaws closed.


Jackals from Halo, anyone?

Here's a dinosaur I uncovered last year and have just publicly released photos and information on it.


It is believed to be the mythical Labrasaurus; a 2 brained dog like winged dinosaur.

Well if you don't know what to make of that... read this.

"My buddy Ralf getting ready to leave soon. His first stop - the Maury show.
Ralf may possibly be the result of Alf and the Tanner family's youngest daughter Lynn Tanner.
Alf claims that these are false accusations and says he's not the baby's daddy.
If Alf does prove to be the father of Ralf - this would be very damaging to the Labrasaurus Rex theory. And could ruin Ralf's shot at a display in Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences."





The world's so screwed up nowadays.

Odd strategy. We will see if it is going to work in his favor.

w/e - I glued those 2 dog skulls together on he 3rd of this month - posted it to my friends on Facebook on the 4th.
Start reading about dinosaurs.. and wth do I read about? The damn Pegomastax Africanus news from the 3rd.

I've just recently started getting back into computers and so I'm a bit rusty and don't have a whole lot of input to add.

But maybe I should write a basic guide on how to use a multi-meter and can of electrical cleaner before someone goes 'oh snaps, I'm puttin dis in the oven like on youtube and if that dont work Im sending it back to Dell'

But first I oughtta post my Windows 7 stickers in the trading section. And can I sell just the codes too? Even if they're cheaper? I know neither's legal.. but you guys wouldn't tell, would ya?

Scientists find oldest dinosaur


Quote:
Researchers have discovered what may be the earliest dinosaur, a creature the size of a Labrador retriever, but with a five foot-long tail, that walked the Earth ~ 243 million years ago.


Another strange creature ...



Artist rendering of Nyasasaurus

Quote:
Nyasasaurus is from the Anisian (Middle Triassic, approximately 243 million years old) and predates all other dinosaurs by approximately 10 million years. Nyasasaurus fossils were excavated from the Manda beds of southwestern Tanzania. The Triassic Period lasted from 252 million to 201 million years ago, and the following animals arose during this time: dinosaurs, crocodile relatives, mammals, pterosaurs, turtles, frogs and lizards.
So this creature is from the Triassic Period. Much earlier than anyone expected, 243 million years ago.
