Brontosaurus-It doesn't fucking exist!

you know what really grinds my gears? The name brontosaurus. I would just like to make a point to all none-dinosaur geeks. BRONTOSAURUS DOESN'T EXIST!!!!!!

When Charles Oneil Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope had their massive fossil race, the both discovered the same dinosaur, at different times, and name them different things. One of these names is Brontosaurus. When the similiarities were discovered, the dinosaur was named apatosaurus, not brontosaurus. Brontosaurus doesn't exist!

One exception however, is in the latest version of king kong. The large herbivorous dinosaurs ARE brontosaurs, but being on the island for 65 million years mutated them into a new sub-species.

Please adhere to these facts, or I will not be responsible for my actions.
