Comment on stegosaurus
NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 2 months agoI 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.

They’re also the only discipline I’m aware of that frequently sabotaged each other’s research using TNT like Looney Tunes characters

You’re in for a treat if you haven’t heard about the Bone Wars until now!

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
