The Brontosaurus... NEVER EXISTED

I was just tweeting, when OMGfacts tweeted about the non-existed Brontosaurus. Check this out.

When asked to name some dinosaur names, a few names come to mind: T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a Brontosaurus.

The first "Brontosaurus" skeleton was discovered by paleontologist O.C. Marsh in 1879. Since the skeleton he found didn't have a head, he used a skull that was found miles away to complete the skeleton. He named the hybrid-dino-skeleton "Brontosaurus" (Thunder Lizard).

It turns out that the skeleton that Marsh found was actually the skeleton of an Apatosaurus, a species that Marsh had already discovered and named two years earlier. Since the dinosaur in question already had a name, there was no longer any dinosaur named Brontosaurus.

The supposed head of the Brontosaurus was later discovered to be from a different dinosaur known as the Camarasaurus. This means that not only is there no such thing as a Brontosaurus, but also there is no dinosaur that looks like what the Brontosaurus looks like. It was literally the head of one dinosaur on the body of another dinosaur.

I was very astonished. I mean, Brontosaurus is a very, very, very popular Dinosaur. Wow.

How to convert your cat's age into human years..

Tadi aku barusan nyari nyari di google, tentang umur kucing kalo diconvert ke umur manusia, dan inilah hasilnya:

(Ini aku gabungin dari dua source; www.purina.co.uk sama cats.about.com)

Sebenernya banyak orang yang bilang, setiap satu tahun (untuk kucing) itu sama dengan 7 tahun manusia. Tapi ini salah, soalnya kucing umur satu tahun itu udah jelas banget nggak kayak kucing 7 tahun. Yang bener adalah :

1 Tahun pertama kucing itu udah sama dengan 15 tahunnya orang. Trus tahun keduanya kucing itu sama dengan 25 tahunnya orang. Nah, untuk setiap tahun selanjutnya, tinggal ditambahin aja 4 tahun.

Ini ada gambar yang aku dapet dari www.purina.co.uk.
