In local news...For those in the Pittsburgh area, the Carnegie Museum, in preparation for upcoming rennovations, is disassembling its dinosaurs.
PITTSBURGH - What could be better than seeing the first tyrannosaurus rex ever discovered? Watching it being taken apart. Visitors to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, which has one of the oldest and largest dinosaur collections in the nation, will be able to watch as the museum's collection of fossilized dinosaur skeletons are taken apart before a renovation of the museum's almost century-old Dinosaur Hall.
If you like dinosaurs, the whole article is worth the read. Another fun fact about the dino exhibit here in Pittsburgh is that it played the Smithsonian exhibit in the movie "Silence of the Lambs". Sadly, it received no academy award nominations.
The next story features the case of the hugging muggings in West Mifflin, PA.
A woman was charged with stealing money and other items in recent weeks by walking up to six elderly victims, giving them a big hug — and then stealing their wallets or other loose items in the process.
Another note about baseball and steroids...
Oops, I mean fighting cows and steroids.
SION, Switzerland - Cows that lock horns in an annual test of strength in the Swiss Alps must face renewed doping tests, authorities have decided.
Recognize my superiority, cow! I said RECOGNIZE, dammit!!
During the largely bloodless fights, each cow tries to force the other to submit, using its head and horns. The contests often end without any physical contact between either cow, when one of the animals recognizes the superiority of the other.
And finally...
I am adding another link to my list of links on the sidebar. This is a site my sister introduced me to (and which she occasionally submits entries to), which is worth checking out if you like photography (and particularly if you're interested in photoshopping): Worth 1000.
