This Statue of Lucille Ball is so Terrifying, the Artist is Offering to do it Over
The statue in Celoron, New York has been watching vigilantly for some time, and now sculptor David Poulin admits he wasn't happy with the way it turned out. Who knows how long it might take to make something up to par, but any quicker we can stop looking at this thing the better!
The Brontosaurus Is Back!
Via the Smithsonian:
It may be one of the most famous dinosaurs of all time. The trouble is that shortly after being discovered, the Jurassic creature fell into an identity crisis. The name for the long-necked, heavy-bodied herbivore Brontosaurus excelsus—the great "thunder lizard"—was tossed into the scientific wastebasket when it was discovered that the dinosaur wasn't different enough from other specimens to deserve its own distinct genus.
But now, in a paleontological twist, Brontosaurus just might be back. A new analysis of dinosaur skeletons across multiple related species suggests that the original thunder lizard is actually unique enough to resurrect the beloved moniker, according to researchers in the U.K. and Portugal.
