...past couple of decades, however, scientists have uncovered all sorts of detailed characteristics common to birds and dinosaurs: wishbones, swiveling wristbones and, most recently, proof that some dinosaurs sported feathers. There's behavioral evidence too. Some dinosaurs made nests and sat on them, and one four-winged, feathered dino evidently glided like a flying squirrel...
Luckily for paleontologists, the beds are divided into different layers that yield different sorts of fossils. The sleeping dino, for example, was found in what Mark Norell of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City calls Liaoning's "Pompeii layer," a 10-ft.-thick stratum of ash and sand. It was deposited so quickly that, like the ash from the infamous eruption in Italy, it buried creatures alive wherever they were standing--or snoozing. This one was tiny: excluding its tail, it's about the size of a Rock Cornish hen. That some of its bones have...
...infield. "They say boys think about sex every 15 seconds," says Ben (Jon Foster). "I think about it every five seconds." For life, this is the fundamental truth of teen boyhood--who can argue?--and the stories are all about sex, its pursuit and its complications. Handsome jock Dino (Sean Faris) has a girlfriend but can't get her to have sex with him. Awkward Jonathan (Chris Lowell) has a friend, Deborah (Kelly Osbourne), who's hot for him, but he's afraid his friends will make fun of him for dating her because she's overweight...
Life lurches from sweet and fresh to embarrassing and awful (much like adolescence).

But its characters are much more believable--Dino, Ben and Jonathan aren't miniature adults, they're kids. When Dino finds his mom cheating, he's not just angry; he's scared, above all for his dad (D.B. Sweeney), a good-hearted sad sack who hates his pencil-pushing job. Fox's The O.C. transcended...
...voice of Reptar Wagon, a ferocious yet lovable dinosaur that transports the animated toddlers into a mysterious forest. Last Friday, at the Lavietes Pavilion, my task was simple: to find out in what ways Busta (or is it Mr. Rhymes?) is similar to and different from the animated dino...
