in the year 1989, the united states postal service decided to make 60 million dinosaur stamps. good idea, right?
the four "dinosaurs" chosen for the stamp collection were: tyrannosaurus, stegosaurus, pteradon, and brontosaurus. ok, there are clearly 2 inaccuracies here; pteranodon is misspelled (and is actually a pterosaur, not a dinosaur) and, of course, the brontosaurus.
so, 2 of the 4 weren't even dinosaurs.
well, the scientific community was irate! the postal service was repeatedly accused of "fostering scientific illiteracy" and all hell broke loose.
if anyone out there has their dirty mitts on one of these bad boys, hook me up.
