Nerd Words #3

Dreadnought: A large naval battleship predominantly used in the early 20th century featuring a heavy assortment of high calibre guns. Literally means, "Fearing nothing." The term was first coined after the christening of the HMS Dreadnought in 1906, the first of this classification. Can also be used to describe a person devoid of the ability to become afraid.

    In Blizzard's real-time strategy game Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness, the Dreadnought represents the Orcish Horde's fiercest naval unit. However, in a more recent turn of events I heard the word in reference to the recently discovered 65-ton sauropod Dreadnaughtus, i.e. the biggest land animal known to exist presently.

Eric Mack on Dreadnoughtus (great name), the largest dinosaur found yet:

To reach its gargantuan size, Dreadnoughtus would have had to have spent most of its time eating large amounts of plants. The dinosaur’s body was comparable to the size of a house, with a 37-foot-long neck balanced by a 30-foot-long tail. Lacovara says it likely would have spent hours just standing in one place and eating everything it could reach.

The one found in Argentina was 85 feet long and 65 tons -- and not yet fully grown.
