Scylla Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) "Dinosaur paleontologists are off their rockers going so far," he said of the detailed scenarios that unfold in documentaries about T. rex and company. "Mammal paleontologists are a little more sane," he said. Congratulations on the write up! I hope you won't need to get a faculty position at an institution with a dino paleontologist as dept.chair Is this your top suspect?

jpc Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Way ta go, Bobby. Here's what I want to know. After you said that bit about T rex, did you tell the reporter not to use that line? Or did you smile the smile of the proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I honestly didn't think she'd use that - given the context, I was joking around. Ah well, its not like I was lying.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 A reporter with an ear for controversy...who'd a thunk it?

Boesse Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks, guys! Siteseer: I've got a couple other articles, which I should email to you. Dave: If you can, could you email me some photos of the tooth marks? BTW, there's a chance I might be going to University of Otago to do a Ph.D. project with Fordyce.
