  I was always told manufacturing and construction breed the meanest coworkers.

  Then I learned about decades of journalistic wars between paleontologist that boil down to "I’m right, they’re wrong, therefore I present we name this species after my opponent. The ‘Doodoostupidheadasaurus’. It has a never-before-seen giant penis bone, which I shall call the “Rightusbiggusdickusflagellum’.”

  All because someone didn’t properly attribute two words back in grad school.

        I played up the dynamite aspect a bit there, but The Bone Wars were very real, very not a porn, and reads more like a Cohen Brothers spec script than anything that, you know, actually happened
