What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe promised you this one: a dinosaur called Invictibellatrix amberina, found in a museum drawer in the UK after a hundred years.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA new study says it lived about one hundred twenty million years ago, and it is the first megaraptoran dinosaur ever found in Europe.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe name means unconquered female warrior, and it had long claws. It's basically a final boss that got filed under miscellaneous.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMiscellaneous. A hundred years in a drawer. I'm going to start asking how long every story sat in the drawer.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHank wants drawer status now. Okay. This one's drawer status is a century, which is longer than any of my unread emails.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA century.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYes. Somebody opened a drawer, saw a warrior queen with giant claws, and for a hundred years said, huh, later.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd now she has a name that sounds like a metal band. Invictibellatrix gets the headline; the curator who finally pulled the drawer gets a footnote.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA hundred million years undefeated, then beaten by a filing cabinet.
