What happened is that I thought you all would appreciate an update more when you were least expecting it.
Surprise!
Happy New Year. My resolutions are to post on my dinosaur blog more and to find someone who will talk about Wizards of Waverly Place Season 4 with me.
So when my friend Wild Kyle (check out his awesome Reuben blog at http://www.perfectreuben.com/) (Kyle update your blog) kindly pointed out it was really past time to update, I dusted off the old "Dinosaur Stuff" folder on my desktop to find some inspiration.
Things I did find:
- A lot of awesome Dinomerch that I did not receive for Chanukkah
- A terrifying picture of Barney
- a document that I don't remember writing featuring such gems as
"IS THIS A GOOD OR A TERRIBLE IDEA? SOMETIMES THE LINE IS PRETTY BLURRY"
"Like when they made a Jewish American Girl doll, finally, the tyranosaurus rex could see a real reflection of themselves in the media. "
And the detailed menu plans for a restaurant I plan to open called "Presto, Pesto".
Things I did not find:
- Useful stuff for writing an update.
So I turned to something called "internet". The internet has a lot of stuff about dinosaurs. I read some of it, and I found an article called "Tyrannosaurus Had Extra Junk in the Trunk". While this is somewhat insensitive to the noble Tyrannosaurus Rex, since we all know about how they have body image issues, it is enough to get me to read the rest of the article.
The gist of the article is that the T-Rex's tail is larger and boxier than previously thought. This made the fearsome, "big-boned", machines of death better runners. To be honest, it all got pretty science-y in the article and I got bored.
What is cool about this:
- T-REX'S ARE DEADLIER THAN EVER WHOOOOOOOOOOO. Like they even needed to be cooler, am I right?! (I am.) (They're so cool you guys)
- One of the main researchers is named "W. Scott. Persons IV". I am pretty sure he is not a real person and is actually a cyborg sent from the future to tell us something important in order to save society, and this means dinosaurs are coming back. That can't be a real name, right? Man, I wonder what the "W" stands for. Probably it's something so futuristic we can't even know it yet.
The article features this pictures, with an updated dino-derriere.

This picture looks like the T-Rex is seriously breaking it down with some dance movies right now, right? I am playing some Ke$ha in my head for its soundtrack, I recommend you do the same.
Okay, honestly this time, I do plan on updating again really soon since I'm sitting around and I just found a really good article about dinosaur discoveries in 2010.
Also sorry if this sucks, it is late and I really haven't updated in SO LONG.
Kyle update your blog.
