Did anyone else see the trailer for the new "Walking with Dinosaurs" style nature documentary that's coming out? It's called "Prehistoric Planet", and it's made by the BBC again. The CGI looks great, and it's supposed to reflect the 20+ years of knowledge in paleontology that we've accrued since WWD came out. David Attenborough is voicing it, although personally I would love for Kenneth Branagh to come back. I get it though, if you want a nature documentary to succeed these days, you've got to put Attenborough in it. I guess it's also going to be on AppleTV+, which I really have no interest in paying for. Thoughts?

Happy New Year! What would the new year be without the old Twilight Zone TV show marathon. I am trying to get my nephews interested in the old black and white series. One nephew is a newly minted dinosaur fan. Does anyone know what is this dinosaur found in Manhattan, NY that was sighted from a jet? I have a funny story that happened on New Year’s Day. I was trapped in a parking garage because the machine to pay was out of order, there was no attendant and the call button reached no one. Although I could have driven out thru the entrance by moving a few cones and driving around the gate, I decided to call the police because I did not want to get a nasty letter and bill from the parking company. I first tried to lift the gate up which promptly fell apart and fell to the ground. After fixing the gate, I then called the police to be my witness that I tried to pay and could not get out. They came several minutes later while the unanswered call button was still ringing. It reminded me of this Mr Bean episode:

I am the guy who answers "How do you know it's a dinosaur bone?" The hat is form the Coirn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. I have not seen the final production, but we had a great time filming this. Enjoy.

I want to suggest something to watch on TV because I think it is rare to come across a comedy show that puts any measure of focus on paleontology. It is episode one, season three of the show "Drunk History" that airs on Comedy Central. The episode is about a famous rivalry between paleontologists Edward Cope and Othniel Marsh called the "Bone Wars." The show is basically a host going around the country getting comedians drunk and having said comedians narrate stories about something historical. The show then has people act out what is being narrated and sometimes they get some famous actors and actresses for those parts. I enjoy it because I get to laugh and learn at the same time. It can get pretty weird sometimes and the language gets colorful (they do bleep things out) but that is what you get when you pay a comedian to drink and be funny at the same time. The story about their rivalry is pretty interesting and definitely worth learning about even if the above does not sound appealing. It is available on Hulu and there is a way to watch it on Comedy Central's website. Three segments make up an episode, the second segment is about the Bone Wars.
