...dinosaur fossil, plenty of jaws of the human variety dropped. Sue, the largest and most intact Tyrannosaurus rex found anywhere, has proved to be the most marketable dinosaur on the planet. The museum last week celebrated Sue's fifth "birthday" (she was first unveiled in 2000) with theater performances, dino-size puppets and super-size cakes. Along with such merchandise as T shirts and a Sue backpack ($22.95), 14 new Sue-themed toys, including paintable figurines and magnetic sculptures, will soon go on sale across the U.S. Coming next month is a CD, A T.

"We can't expect to find things like this again...
...Washington's signature scans When Republican gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi edged out attorney general Christine Gregoire by a mere 42 votes in an automatic machine recount, the Democrats raised $750,000 to count the votes again by hand. This uncovered 573 ballots that had been rejected owing to problems with scanning voter signatures in a heavily Democratic district. When Republicans failed in an effort to block those votes from being counted, Gregoire won by 129 votes. As Rossi called for a new election last week, a Democratic spokeswoman scoffed: "This isn't a video game where...
