Dinosaurs Could Hold Basketballs, But Not Dribble 73
Gre7g writes "Long before the invention of the photocopier, mud was the ideal way to preserve an image of your butt. 'We got lucky with this one [sitting] on a slope,' which brought its hands closer to the ground, said study author Andrew Milner of the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm. Full disclosure: My wife did the artistic reconstruction."

Long before the invention of the photocopier, mud was the ideal way to preserve an image of your butt.
Some of us still consider mud to be far superior. Photocopiers may be more convenient, but they really can't compare with mud for capturing detail without distortion.
Now I'm going to be flamed by a lot of Xerox fan boys. For the last time: the best technology is the technology that works best for you!

There are plenty of theories about how the dinosaurs met their near-simultaneous end, but with the information provided in the article, I think I have an idea worth investigating!

Now we know why the dinosaurs went extinct. You can't survive in this world without a decent guard rotation.
Still, England's guard rotation is still methodical and precise, and their empire is slowly diminishing. There's no accounting for team chemistry, I suppose.

That's right, the global conspiracy to deny the fact that dinosaurs could dribble isn't science, hell it's not even sport, it's politics - specifically the IOC, NBA, and the Chinese government are to blame.
