Our Mission

Well, um.

Now there's a good start! Right? So. Our Mission.

Our Mission.... (thinking....)

OK.

We think that there is nothing worse than b o r i ng science! Some people think that there is nothing worse than boring anything, but we are more specialized here at The Dinosaur Interplanetary Gazette.

So our mission is to let science be a little less boring than it usually is, and a little less dense and impenetrable. (How did that long word get here?)

And we think a good way to do that is to talk about dinosaurs.

Howcum?

First of all, dinosaurs are way kewl!
Secondly, we like dinosaurs.
Thirdly, we know lots of people who like dinosaurs (at least 8 or 10!)
Fourthly, dinosaurs are very scientific! That is to say, without scientists and their helpers, we wouldn't know anything about dinosaurs!
Fifthly, reading is good! We keep practicing, and maybe we will learn how to do it one of these days. And if we had a choice, we would rather read about dinosaurs than about lots of other stuff.
Sixthly. Um. (wait a second) (don't leave) (well, we will come back to this one, ok?)

In the meanwhile, we will try to publish just about everything we can find that has a dinosaur in it. We will also try to point you at lots of other things that explain how somebody found out about, or figured out about, or imagined something about dinosaurs.

We will do our very best to tell you the difference between imaginary things and things that have been verified. Fantasy is lots of fun, but so are facts! There is a place for both of them. Fantasy and facts go together like Mutt and Jeff, peanut butter and jelly, Sonny and Cher (well they broke up, didn't they), and Insides and Outsides. We just need to know the difference, and we'll get along fine in the world.

Science is a great way to learn how to look at things: to tell the difference between what somebody imagined and what somebody figured out is real. It is how we know EVERYTHING that we know about dinosaurs. Everything. Honest.

So check us out. And tell us if you think we are doing a good job or a bad job. OK? | e-mail | guestbook |

We'd love to imagine that we are doing it perfectly, but those darn facts have a way of creeping in. Hmmmmm. Never did figure out what point "six." Should be. We'll get back to you.
