However, it must be conceded that the reactions of the prank callees are somewhat amusing. It is unfathomable how the Jerky Boys were able to convince a woman that her son frequents a nude beach in “Sol’s Nude Beach.” Equally jaw-dropping, but hardly side-splitting, is that a lawyer stayed on the phone for upwards of two minutes listening to a foreigner sob about being beaten for delivering a pizza to the wrong door in “Pizza Lawyer...
...book, in which frat boy Hoyt stares at himself in the mirror, dead drunk: "A gale was blowing in his head. He liked it. He bared his teeth. He had never seen them quite this way before. So even! So white! They vibrated from perfection. And his square jaw ... that chin with the perfect cleft in it ... his thick, thatchy light brown hair ... those brilliant hazel eyes ... his! Right there in the mirror--him!" To read it is to feel both the dizzy joy of intoxication and the impending hangover, not through anything Wolfe tells us but from the altered...
From the start, says Morwood, "it was pretty obvious that this was not a modern human. It had a big brow and a massive nutcracker jaw," some of the telltale characteristics of H. erectus. But, he says, "it's very unlike the Homo erectus you get in Java." In fact, he believes the Hobbit most closely resembles specimens found in the Republic of Georgia that date back 1.7 million years.

After considering nearly every square jaw in show biz, including those of Jude Law, Brendan Fraser and Josh Hartnett, Warner Bros. has finally cast its next Superman--an unknown Iowan named BRANDON ROUTH. Like his predecessor, Christopher Reeve, Routh, 25, started as a soap hunk, in the cast of One Life to Live. His not-so-muscly rsum also includes a stint on Will & Grace and a role in the upcoming film Deadly, opposite Laura Prepon. In an age of flawed superheroes, Routh...
...fossil beds are much finer grained. That's where paleontologists found the feathered tyrannosaur, which Xu and Norell named Dilong paradoxus ("surprising emperor dragon"). It's one of the oldest known tyrannosaurs, and one of the emu-size specimens has unmistakable traces of primitive feathers on its tail and jaw. Those filaments, which are about three-quarters of an inch long and branched like modern feathers, are the first direct evidence that tyrannosaurs sported plumage. Because Dilong paradoxus is one of the earliest tyrannosaurs, Norell and his colleagues infer that its larger, more advanced relatives, including T. rex, must have...
