Yeah, that's a great fossilized set of skin and tendons etc. Which certainly is pretty amazing for showing us that they really did have skin that was scaly as thought, however, it's not like the T-Rex or the Mammoths where the soft tissue is actually still soft. The soft tissue in the case of the hadrosaur has been turned into rock, it's amazing just for the fact that usually it rots before it can get anywhere near that state.

In reply to this comment by RhesusMonk:
I found one other article about a hadrosaur. I was at the AMNH a few months ago, fittingly for a lecture on paleogenomics, and I'm sure I saw exhibits on other examples. The lecture was about mastodon sequencing, and the lecturer (whose name I can't fucking remember OR find online--grrr) didn't talk about dinos. Here's an article about the hadrosaur:

From a brief look around, there would seem to be only one case of soft tissue from a dinosaur being found http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/03/0324_050324_trexsofttissue.html

In reply to this comment by spoco2:
And also, you see that large one in the diarama they show near the end... that's a friggen real stuffed adult Mammoth.

Makes me wish there was a T-Rex or Brontosaurus frozen in permafrost somewhere than can be found... imagine actually finding a dinosaur with skin, organs etc... it'd be incredible.

There are actually quite a few dino fossils that have preserved tissue other than bone. There are some at the AMNH that have skin and partial internal organs intact; and I believe the La Brea tarpits in LA are home to some extremely well preserved tissues as well.

[edit]: Seems I was wrong. La Brea houses fossils only as old as OIS 2 (the last ice age--about 11,000 years ago). The articles about other preserved dino tissues can be found here:

Thanks to spoco for the correction and the second link.

Oh come on these films are awesome.. they're modern day indiana jones....well, when they weren't knocking out sequels...
shame no rachel weisz


Same for National Treasure movies.

From the Y/T:
You're wearing trousers with a tag on the back
and a cap with the visor turned up,
parading around Tuleto
like a lady's man trying to be seen

You're acting all american,
american, american,
listen here: who's asking you to?

You want to be all trendy,
but if you drink "whisky and soda"
you always end up sick!

You're dancing rock and roll,
and playing baseball,
but where'd you get the money
for the Camel cigarettes?
Mummy's handbag!

You're acting all american,
american, american,
but you're born in Italy, listen here:
there's nothing you can do,
ok napoletano?!
You're acting all american,
american, american,

How can your loved one understand
if you're speaking half american?
When you're out loving uder the moon,
where do you get a phrase like "I love you"?

You're acting all american,
american, american,
but you're born in Italy, listen here:
there's nothing you can do,
ok napoletano?!
You're acting all american,
american, american,
...whisky soda rock and roll

This seems like one of those "unwrapped automotons." It could very easily be developed into a variety of novelty toys. The most obvious is a coffin and you hit the switch, the coffin opens, and a mummy or skeleton reaches out and hits the switch to close the lid. Sell it for $19.95 at "The IT Store".

Fucking hell! Bring back some bombings quick! At least it's real news. Who the hell is that guy. Definitely an only child, my guess would also be that mummy didn't pay much attention to him and left him in his room writing himself minutes for the next meeting he'd be conducting by himself. Tsk

Augmented reality is so cool!

I can't wait to be able to paint and add images into this virtual space and then being able to choose channels of whose tags and comments to see.

Walk into a museum with your cool glasses and suddenly you see an arrow pointing at a mummy with the text "I'd hit it!".

I can´t stand "Mummys boy" comments...

Cant believe this has not made it out yet.

maybe i´ll post a mummys boy comment to get attention this way...

on second thought: no

best "Mummys boy" comment.

Just working my way down this list...

Gorgonheap - It's hard to take cues from a man who identifies himself with an obscure muppet. Not only does Gorgonheap's character not exist, but all the other imaginary dipshits don't care about him. Freudian slips are a wonderful thing.

Blankfist - Your enthusiasm for receiving my response coupled with your sugar coated compliment at the end of your rant suggest you'd like to go farther than just virtually kiss my ass. I'll see what I can arrange on Craigslist, m'kay?

Zeph - And I couldn't be bothered to take the time to respond to you. So I won't. I'll use the saved time for something more important - Gotta scratch my balls.

Silvercord - Twat.

MLx - And your botox administrator called. She wants to know if she can reschedule for next week or if by that time your face will be rubbing so hard against the pavement you'll be undoing several thousand dollars worth of taxpayer's money.

Whoops, forgot Darkrowan. Wait a minute... nope, actually just didn't give a shit.

Kronosposeidon - Like I have to insult a guy who has the hots for the mentally challenged. Use protection though, I don't want my niece getting syphilis - might make her as stupid as you.

Zifnab - That insult was about as creative as some idiot whoring out for votes with a Yahtzee videos every week.

CaptWillard - My dickless ass? It wouldn't surprise me if you have one firmly up yours.

Joedirt - A sexually frustrated computer nerd brought further down the virginity well from a lack of knowledge on the location of female genitalia.

Choggie - I don't even know where to start... what the fuck did you write?? You're persistence in coming up with new and exciting ways to rape the English language up the ass never fails to amuse.

Fjnbk - You're the kind of guy I'd wish an ironic death on - Like getting run over by an ambulance.

my15minutes - Yea, those minutes were up a long time ago. Does anyone know THIS motherfucker??

Maatc - Certainly the only ones hitting the up arrows on any of his comments or clips are a group of egyptian spammers who mistake it as a pyramid symbol and are trying to signal him that he is a "Mummys Boy".

That lone statement can kill more braincells than Choggie's liquor cabinet.

MycroftHomlz - Given how you liked to cheer on the insults in your last roast, I'm starting to think you masturbate to them. I'm not gonna add to that...

dotdude - When he's not making pointless comments, he's drawing dots. I'll let you decide which is more valuable.

K0MMIE - At this point I'm running out of energy and things to say so you're just a dick.

Smibbo - Ooooh, wow, fart jokes. It's too hard to match that kind of wit, I've never lowered my standards to that degree before.

END

Wow, not to say I could do better, but I'm confident my internal editor might have stopped this gem from flowing out over the internets...

This made me speechless. I've read a lot of things on the internet, but few comments made me stop in my tracks like this one. This goes in the Sift-Hall-of-Shame:

Missed the last roast that we had on whatshisnameagain but here is what I have to say about karaidl:

The only word accurately describing karaidl in his profile is the word "trash".
I mean come on, who would post a selfportrait of himself with what looks like a chocolate milkshake spilled down the front of his shirt?
To make things worse he tries to lure attention away from some dude staring at his stark naked buttocks by
photoshopping in a cocktail umbrella. How fuckin' original!
If he keeps going like this I am thoroughly convinced the only boobs he will ever see are the manboobs of his avatar.

Karaidl thinks he is such a clown but in reality his comments get less laughs than a Schindlers List screening in a Synagogue.
Certainly the only ones hitting the up arrows on any of his comments or clips are a group of egyptian spammers who mistake it as a pyramid symbol and are trying to signal him that he is a "Mummys Boy". I recently even tried sending an email to humurouswit@karaidl.com and got an away message.

Also, looking at his stats one can only come to the conclusion that karaidl would not go anywhere near the Deadpool even if his mother was drowning in it.

In closing I think most of all he is a selflinking bastard! Want proof?
Look at the guy that ransomed himself for 200 bucks in the clip he submitted a few months ago. Surely only someone like karaidl could pull off such idiocy!

I say * ban his adolescent ass!

-End of roast transmission-

But in all honesty: What this guy needs is a toast, not a roast! Keep it up mate!
