An international team of biologists, led by our Rapid Assessment Program, recently studied southeastern Suriname — a mountainous wilderness that’s among the most remote and unexplored tracts of rainforest left on Earth. And what they found is great news. The forest, the scientists discovered, will be critical to Suriname’s climate resilience, fresh water supplies, and sustainable development strategy. What’s more, the expedition discovered a wealth of species — including 60 species that are likely new to science and unique species that may exist nowhere else on Earth!

Roadside Dinosaurs - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The are literally thousands of roadside dinosaurs in the world. The best website, if you love strange roadside attraction in general, is agilitynut.com. These dinosaurs are just a few of the strange dinosaurs located off major highways. Some good, and some terrible roadside dinosaurs across several states.

1) Outside of the town of Erlian in China on the Mongolian border, you can find this statue of two amorous sauropods kissing across the highway. It was built to showcase the region’s reputation as a fossil hotspot.

2) A very sorry looking dino located in the city of Victorville, California.

3) This 100-ton T.Rex was created in 1981 by sculptor Claude K. Bell to draw visitors to his Wheel Inn Cafe. At one time, a slide was built into the Tyrannosaurs’ tail, but it was later filled in with concrete. You can purchase souvenirs at a museum shop located inside Ms. Dinny, a 150-ton Apatosaurus considered the largest concrete dinosaur in the world, located in Cabazon, California.

4) Entrance to Kentucky’s Dinosaur World. One of the creepiest sites of all.

5) Cowboys and Dinosaurs (as well matched as cowboys and aliens) spotted in Natural Bridge, Virginia.

6) Rainbow Rock Shop in Holbrook, Arizona has a rather large display of very nice dinosaurs.

7) This is Wrinkles, a strange creature who greets visitors outside of the Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center in Jurupa, California.

8 & 9) Dinosaur World - an abandoned theme park of decaying dinosaurs in Beaver, Arkansas. All of the components necessary to be truly creepy.

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

Sitting on the windowsill, figuring out that I could sort of control my goosebumps.Weird stuff, by the way. Anyone else able to induce [[ frission ]] without listening to Hans Zimmer music or whatever?-- John 11, I swear you're making that up. Every time I ask you to do it, you make up some excuse. It's too hot today. I'm full, I just ate. You're a gigantic diaper baby. /kindergarten insultsMy earliest memory is waking up in the middle of the night and pestering convincing my mother to play blocks with me at 2 AM.-- John 2Probably getting a new dog?

Neirin: The moon shines down, clear light falling

Taliesin: As the cyclops-eyed lighthouse blinks

Neirin: It scours the edges of the world

Neirin: That all things must go

Every once and a while I have to participate in a meaningless soothing OCD type activity. I need to do this more often. Watercolor pencils, various pens, and water brush pen thingies.
