    1. Just kidding. Here is my real news story. Ha ha.
      Washington Post - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/03/09/my-4-year-old-gets-jacked-up-to-target-shoot-gun-loving-mom-brags-hours-before-her-little-boy-shoots-her/?tid=pm_national_pop_b

      So this gun's rights activist lady was shot by her 4 year old sun, which is obviously very ironic. Last I checked she was in stable condition, which is good, because I would have felt really bad for her son if he had killed her. This sort of thing really sucks, as it strengthens the stereotype that people from Florida are all-around not very smart.

  24. Scientists have discovered a new species of Tyrannosaur that helps explain how the T. rex turned into such a giant beast. Experts from Edinburgh University, along with colleagues from Russia and the U.S., discovered fossilized remains in Uzbekistan and identified a new species called "Timurlengia euotica." The Timurlengia was roughly the size of a horse. "Ancestors of the T. rex would have looked a whole lot like Timurlengia," says Steve Brusatte, the team leader, from the University of Edinburgh.
