Dinosaur bones are going on auction at Guernsey's.
Guernsey's will be the first "major, full-blown auction focusing on prehistoric creatures," Ettinger said. Among the featured pieces is a nearly complete, 40-foot skeleton of an anatotitan duck-billed dinosaur.
"It is very rare to have a dinosaur skeleton in one piece," Ettinger said. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the selling price, although he said it could go into the high six figures to potentially millions.
I guess it beats seeing them on e-bay. If you're interested in bidding...
Dinosaur Day, Part 2
Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney is about to notch his 3000th show. Says the man with the lefty bass:
"I never keep count on the statistics, so I was amazed when people told me I'll do my 3,000th gig on this tour," McCartney said in a statement. "That's an awful lot of late nights."Well, when you count in 1,2,3,4, the world counts along with you, Sir Paul. However, he's got nothing on the Godfather of Soul James Brown.
Dinosaur Day, Part 3
An old Apollo Rocket that never got off the ground, so to speak, is getting a 'facelift', according to this article.
Workers will construct a shelter for the Saturn V rocket and give it the equivalent of a "blow dry" in the first steps to preserve the relic of NASA (news - web sites)'s golden age, said Allan Needell, Apollo program curator for the Smithsonian Institution (news - web sites)'s National Air and Space Museum.I guess it's just been that kind of day.
The 363-foot-long behemoth has lain on its side in front of JSC since 1977, a favorite sight of tourists, but also a victim of the elements.
Instead of launching astronauts to the moon as it was built to do, it has become a slowly fading hulk of peeling paint and corroded metal where birds live and plants sprout, Needell said on Wednesday during a visit to the rocket.
"There's a lot of biology growing on there," he said, pointing out streaks of algae staining the rocket's white skin.
