So there's a discussion about the existence of the Brontosaurus? Someone ****ed up years ago with a dinosaur skeleton and paleontologists railed about it - but now there's discussion that it was real even though our knowledge about it came from a bad reconstruction? And brontosauruses were basically (if they were real) smaller brachiosauruses?
If the brontosaurus wasn't real, are there other dinosaurs that aren't real? I mean, at least I know that Liopleurodons were real, they wouldn't feature in Jurassic Park if they weren't....or would they? Now that I think of it, wasn't Littlefoot from The Land Before Time a brontosaurus? From what I've read, it looks like the scientific consensus is that the genus is unique enough to merit separate classification from the Apatosaurus.

jwb is right about the Facebook science meme people tho. They probably also love to wear tie dye.
