What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorScientists in London have named a new dinosaur, a cousin of the T. rex, whose fossil sat in a museum drawer for nearly a hundred years.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJoining us now is someone with knowledge of this discovery, calling in from a parking garage. Sir, what details can you share about how this fossil ended up forgotten?

  3. Barnaby StratheI can't say more. But I can say the drawer was a drawer. Keep that between us and the whole internet.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHave you been inside that museum, sir?

  5. Barnaby StratheI can't say more. I did go once, in school, and I sat on the bench by the whale. That's all.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe whale. Is that your sourcing?

  7. Barnaby StratheI have a document. It says level three, and it says I owe nine dollars. Make of it what you will.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's a parking ticket, sir. The fossil was first acquired in nineteen twenty-four, and the dinosaur is called Invictibellatrix amberina.

  9. Barnaby StratheI can't say more. But I always suspected something was down there, and by down there I mean my car. It's a nice car.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA hundred years collecting dust is quite remarkable. Most museums would have displayed something like that ages ago.

  11. Barnaby StratheExactly what I told my wife. Then the car got towed.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLast question. What was this dinosaur called before the scientists named it?

  13. Barnaby StratheI can't say more. Drawer.
