Dinosaurs Had Feathers
Well, this is definately interesting. I guess a site was found in China that had preserved dinosaurs buried beneath the lava, including a t-rex. The bodies couldn't decompose because of the lack of oxygen, and guess what? The dinosaurs did not have a bare skin reptillian appearance to them.... they had feathers.

Just saw his today and thought it was really fascinating. It's a, "woah, wtf." I mean can you really imagine Jurassic Park (the 1st movie, the kick ass one) being all that great with big birds running around instead of reptilian like creatures? It's amusing because all of our depictions of dinosaurs have been wrong.
Yup, I'm a nerd.
