...dialect coaches, is playing Fred. "They live in a trailer that's just a pigsty." The movie will answer several burning Flintstone questions: How did blue-collar Fred win heiress Wilma Slaghoople (KRISTEN JOHNSON)?

For visitors with an antic mind and a free year or two, Dinoland offers a trove of comic minutiae, including "Chester and Hester's," a garage full of dino-doodads...

But on closer examination, scientists found something even more remarkable: not only had the mini-dino's bones survived (save those of the lower legs and tail), but so, evidently, had some of the tissues inside. As described in the current issue of the journal Nature, the dinosaur, almost certainly a baby, has significant amounts of its intestines and liver still intact, along with muscles and the cartilage that once housed its windpipe--"details of soft anatomy never seen previously in any dinosaur," write Italian paleontologists Cristiano Dal Sasso and Marco Signore...
