Some little boys, at some point, lose their fascination with things like ninjas, pirates, robots and dinosaurs. I am not one of those boys.

One of my other hobbies is following archeology, paleontology, evolutionary theory, genetic research and related topics. Today, the discovery of two new species of dinosaur in Southern Utah. They're related to my all time favorite dinosaur, triceratops (which has recently been speculated on as the juvenile form of another dinosaur).

If any other boys or girls still love dinosaurs, my favorite website for reading about this is The Panda's Thumb: http://pandasthumb.org/.

I recently read an article that said triceratops never existed, they were just a juvenile Torosaurus. The article was on gizmodo.com, for some reason this school computer won't copy links.

Im still amazed that when i was a kid, there was 9 planets and that was it, and now theres like 400.

Im the same, im fascinated by space and tech although im not a scientist. And wether or not well see a planet through a telescope in a couple of years that we could move to once we flushed this one down the toilet. Then again, we wont have the tech to go there since world went to shit.

Anyway, some math guy calculated that we will detect an earth-like planet next year. Around may 2011, apparently.
