Grown Men And Wet Dreams

Adopt a Dimetrodon!

Secondo un sondaggio condotto dalla rivista “nature” nel 2009 una percentuale di 63% degli giornalisti hanno usato dei blogs as sources or ideas for their science news ( Brumfield 2009).
This could be a positive development considering the growing number of excellent scientific blog (mostly British), but of course in the country of persimmons in choosing a scientific way "alternative."

10 days ago I reported a post on a typical Blog crap, already at the limit of tolerable if in paleontological field, but gross errors which I think we should be traced back to the original source, and not surprisingly it 's the ANSA. difficult to think that "quality" of such a source could be "sor (ct) increased, but unfortunately the ever watchful Leonardo A. signals a new pearl of journalism "scientific" produced by the "Corriere della Sera."
Not much to add to the commentary and analysis of Leonardo, I wanted to laugh to keep from crying - this "work" of an official newspaper (!) Is even more in poorer the blog post private (and I assume that 's ANSA) above.

text apart from the scientific and grammatical errors is partly childish disconcerting: r ettili with large wings like an elephant (sorry, I do not have the speed to reach an elephant for comparison) and that "scream and leap into the air ?
And if there was still a distant hope that the author has at least one question and that you understand before you go, here follows this sentence, in its contradiction is a paradox of cosmic entity:

" The Pelycosaurs, dinosaurs have a huge sail back (like the one dimetrodonte) ... "

What irony of fate (?), to use these terms and for the image (see the introduction from the post) I think we should have done a quick search on Wikipedia , but to coin this phrase, which can not be more wrong, you must deliberately and completely ignore what 'written ... and it's really true, blogs are more scientific journalism (sigh!).
Finally, it is never, ever cite the scientific source of some news ...


And since I'm delighted to guess it, I predict that soon we will read the newspapers of this mold, " The kangaroo and a South American animal. "
