Headless Dinos, Paint Throwing Vandals and a Struggling Johnny Appleseed Center

Let us now take a quick tour of the Earth to collectively tsk-tsk at recent events we have found shocking in its various nooks and crannies. First, we go to Durham, North Carolina, where, this weekend, vandals broke in to the Museum of Life and Science Dinosaur Trail to lop off the neck and head of a beloved plaster brontosaurus figure, leaving just the steel bar used to support it. Why would someone do such a thing? And where in god’s name are they going to put a gigantic dinosaur head and neck? And of course the museum is going through tough financial times like everyone else, so they won’t be able to repair it.
