Love it! What happy dinosaurs! And I hope your anniversary was good, too. ---

This needs to be a thing. I told a few people about it at work and they thought it was an awesome idea. Alas, I had forgotten about it until this thread reminded me, and there was no time to seek out a prehistoric pal to lunch with. The good news is, there is another Friday the 13th in July! ---

Everyone I’ve told thinks it’s awesome, too! Although I was careful not to tell the people who wouldn’t… I will certainly obtain a dinosaur companion or two by July. ---

> [@Tapiotar](#): > > This is soooo appropriate, as Science Daily just had an article about intelligent dinosaurs in outer space! > [dinosaurs in space!](http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120411120506.htm) The SDaily article is a news release from ACS about an article recently published in JACS ([_J. Am. Chem. Soc._, **2012** , \*134 \*(16), pp 6887–6892](http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja3012897)) that has created quite a stir in the chemistry community because, 1) the paper is shit, 2) the press release is even more shit, 3) the paper is mostly self-plagiarized, and 4) the author is a former JACS editor and we expect better. [ChemBark](http://blog.chembark.com/2012/04/26/link-collection-space-dinosaur-paper/) has a nice list of links for anyone who would like to read more about it.
