it's time for people to know the truth

here's the concise version, as most of my friends have a short attention span:

in the year 1877, a paleontologist by the name of Othniel Charles Marsh published the name apatasaurus. in 1879, the very same man published the name brontosaurus. in 1903, a man named Elmer Riggs came along and noted that the two were so similar, they were actually in the same genus! the older of the two names holds priority (as per the {ICZM} International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature).
Mike Taylor, a paleobiologist from the UK, states that "the world continued and continues to use "Brontosaurus''; but Apatosaurus should be used in all serious writing."

the proof is in the pudding! but if you're lactose intolerant, go here:
