Today CNN broke this story on the discovery of a new species of dinosaur. The discovery is unique not only because the Suuwassea emilieae as it's been dubbed has a mysterious second hole in its skull, but because the scientist credited with the discovery spotted the bones while, get this, on a horseback ride near his daughter's house in Montana! Imagine! That CNN ran the story today is unique because this all happened in 1998.

In other completely meaningless scientific news, an underwater volcano was discovered off the coast of Antarctica.

That both of these are considered "Top Stories" by CNN is a sign that their online editors are either fantastically nerdy or science has recently gotten much better PR representation. That these discoveries are the best science has to offer is a sign that those scientist bastards better start working on something a little sexier. I'm talking about pork chop trees and boob cloning, people.


Who fucking cares?
