Jul 23 2009Quick, I Need A Shovel!: Some Dinosaurs May Have Burrowed Underground In Cold Weather

FIRST ZOMGGGGG!!! MY LIFE IZ COMPLEET!!!!

*sigh*

sexy

@1 Fail.

So dinosaurs invented the tunnel of love. A cosy cuddle room.. : )

I heart dinos.

Hey geekologie writer, Archaeologists dont study dinosaurs, paleontologists do! As a shovel bum i get questions about dinos all the time and have to tell well meaning folks that i dont have any freakin idea where you can find a T-Rex skull. Spread the word

Possibly palaeontologists?

i want one!!!!!!!!! the hole i mean though the dinosaur would be cool

Damn, beaten to second place for pedantry.

Uh, they're PALEONTOLOGISTS, not archeologists.
"Emory University paleontologist Anthony Martin"
Paleontologists study prehistoric organisms, Archaeology is a sub-field of Anthropology and deals with the remains of human civilizations.

@4, 5

No one else cares.

And I take third place for pedantry after taking too long typing my response, ha

Same goes for you 8, STFU.

Dinosaurs are still on earth, GW. They evolved into birds. So get out there and go fück yourself some chickens you chicken fücker.

@4 5 and 8

11, ignorant people don't care, because they're... ignorant. Everyone in Anthropology cares, because we're tired of people asking things like, "So you're into dinosaurs?"

if you know miyavi

@14

Dear Rossco,
You are a tool, fo sho.
No one cares, and you're aruging with me trolling.
You suck balls, and have me rolling.

That's my song for you. I just made it up. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

I wonder if they snuggled. Snugglesaurus. I like the thought of it. I'll sleep well tonight.

@Rossco (gay name by the way, what are you, like a gay indaina jones or something?)

Oh yeah. Those beasts burrowed like frightened echidnas. Why, just last week, I was digging a hole to build a swimming pool and found a T-Rex. Damn thing must've been trying to wait out that especially cold winter a few years back.

Thanks all, for continuing to prove my point. Maybe I should write a research paper on how people get off on trolling. As it stands, it just boggles my mind.

@26
Raises the question, are we idoits for yelling at you at an internet site where identity is random, or are you a moron for thinking it would work out some other way.... either way eat a dick....

@26
in case you haven't figured it out yet, you are a moron...

@14 (Rossco), so you're an Anthropologist? You're lucky, working with Dinosaurs all day long. You must really be into dinosaurs. Which dinosaurs do you love the most, the ones that bite the top off your jeep, or the ones that are smart enough to open doors and outsmart hunters with guns? I've heard there's a theory that all brontosauruses are thin at one end, much MUCH thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. Do you dispute that?

It's too bad all the dinosaurs died out thousands of years ago in the last ice age, when they were hit by the meteors that also made the moon. I guess they just got too big and didn't know how to evolve. Except the ones that evolved into mammals and fish and things. I know they're all just big flying reptiles but I would have liked to ride on one like Adam and Eve do in the Bible.

Is that a novelty eagle head in that picture on the far left? By gods, I think it is!

My favorite kind of dinosaur is the kind that bites off the top of jeep, the T-Rex. This has been my favorite kind of dinosaur since I was a little kid, and I drew them all of the time. When Jurassic Park came out, I was so happy when I got the official JP T-Rex toy. It was ginormous! It felt all neat and squishy too. Also, when you squeezed it, it's jaws would open and it would ROAR! I even got the JP compound set, and the Ellie Sadler and Dr. Grant action figures. (But not Ian Malcom, cause he was lame) I would make them ride the T-Rex and then have all of the sex, just like I wanted to do someday.

Then, one day, The Lost World came out. This featured a neat private military and more T-Rex and Velociraptor hotness, as well as a baby one that ate seamen! but it did not have Dr. Grant or Ellie Sadler, so I was sad. It just starred the lame Ian Malcolm guy who was annoying in the first movie for some reason. And then somehow his daughter who couldn't even make the gymnastics team used her previously insufficient gymnastics skills to fend off the wily Velociraptors.
Fortunately, there was a cool juvenile T-Rex toy that came out that I also got. It was cute, but the new thing was "Dino Damage(tm)" where you could pull off a chunk of their flesh when they were attacked. I was not a fan of this, because I did not want my dinosaurs getting hurt! I was, however, a fan of Calvin & Hobbes, and decided that I would make my juvenile T-Rex my own imaginary friend, just like Hobbes! This lasted a couple of days. Maybe a day. Maybe a couple of hours. That's not important.

But what is important is that I saw a National Enquirer once that had an article about a real dinosaur hatching from an egg, and in the photo it was really just a JP juvenile T-Rex toy! Let me tell you, I LOL'd, and LOL hadn't even been invented yet! (as far as I know) I know this because I used to watch Ghost Writer on PBS, and they talked about the interweb on it when it was just some crazy new place where you could apparently play games like Snake with people and helpful ghosts could travel and send messages to kids who showed their emotions very very clearly all of the time.

But to answer your question, I do not dispute your assertion about the Brontosaurus. My early research of claymation dinosaur videos does appear to affirm this. What I'm just *certain* you will find interesting, however, is that Brontosaurus is not a scientifically correct name! The correct name is Apatosaurus, though the name Brontosaurus remains in popular culture. This is funny because I had no idea until I just looked it up on Wikipedia! Imagine my complete and total shock, being an Anthropology major and all. Boy was my face red!

But weren't dinosaurs cold blooded? Cant really preserve heat if you don't generate it in the first place...

@32

Take you're fu*king essay somewhere else jackass. Jesus christ.

*your

I made a grammar mistake, and thus the world shall end within a fortnight. So it is written, so it shall be.

Stompy, Gordon, those exchanges make me reminisce to the old geekologie where simply posting a message led to a harsh flaming full of harshness, fire and harshness.

yeah I know i spelt it wrong but surely that just means spelling nazi can have a go aswell...

The brontosaurus theory isn't mine, ya know. It's Margaret Mead's, a very good friend of mine whom you've probably never heard of. She discovered dinosaurs in Samoa. She was married to the great Anthropologist Indiana Jones, who is also a very good friend of mine.

Despite your ignorance of Maggie Mead's work (her very closest friends in the world call her Maggie), I found your post above insightful and not wholey without charm. I suggest you publish it, perhaps in Nature, a magazine I myself have written countless articles for. Perhaps you can also present it at the annual Dinosaur-Anthropology conference. I'll see you there. I'll be the one in khaki and a pith helmet.

I am actually the grandchild of the illegitimate lovechild of Indiana Jones and Elsa, (the blonde Nazi girl) so I'm not surprised that Dr. Mead (as I was always forced to call her when in her presence) or Dr. Jones have never mentioned me. You may (rightfully) wonder how Elsa could have birthed his child seeing as how she fell to her death, but in truth what happened was that the pit went down into the Underworld, but seeing that she was with child, (a glorious child, they say, who would one day give birth to an even more glorious child, but I'm pretty modest) the gods of the Underworld let her pass through unmolested and she popped up in a Maya cenote, eventually making her way to Costa Rica, and joined up with a company named InGen building... Jurassic Park!

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it to the Dinosaur-Anthropology conference, as I will be busy exploring the duality of T-Rex mating rituals, (sex and death, it seems) but my grandmother Elsa will be there, so give her a, "Sieg Heil!" for me!

This is actually a lot like that scene in the movie Never Back Down, where Max's ATM password is "Rossco." He tells this secret to Jay Peterman's mother (who is on her deathbed), and various kinds of hilarity ensue when Peterman concludes that Max was his mother's rogue lover.

I'll be sure to pass along your hearty "Sieg Heil". With a click my heels, for old times sake.

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was talking about a bowling ball to Ishmael, and described it as round, with 3 holes and you put your fingers in it. Ishmael saidm You leave Rebecca out of this.

How do they know it was to escape cold weather and not just make a nest?

Its a love nest....

Maybe they didn't dig. Maybe the got buried by flying earth when a meteor hit the planet. Then because of the changes forces by a meteor strike, the weather patterns were altered and it snowed on top of them. The tunnels to the surface could indicate them trying to escape.

Rossco - did you become an anthropologist to avoid dealing with real live people? Ass.

Ollie - WTF? How come I never got a song?
