Over 65 million years ago in what is now South Dakota, a battle-scarred Tyrannosaurus rex matriarch--perhaps mortally wounded in a ferocious fight--fell into the riverbed and died. In 1990 her skeleton was found, virtually complete, in what many have called the most spectacular dinosaur fossil discovery to date.

And then another battle began - a "survival of the fittest" free-for-all involving commercial dinosaur hunters, gun-toting law officers, an ambitious federal prosecutor, a Native American tribe, jealous academics, an enterprising auction house, major museums, and corporate giants, all making their claim for the dinosaur named Sue. Before it was over, there would be claims and counterclaims; charges of checkbook-polluted science, criminal larceny, and vengeful prosecutions; and devastating prison terms. And the gavel would come down on the largest-ever ($8.36 million) auction price tag for a fossil, paid by Chicago's Field Museum, with help from Disney and McDonald's.

Capturing the whole range of characters and issues embroiled in the fight for Sue, author Steve Fiffer communicates both the excitement over Sue's discovery and the motivations, maneuverings, and absurdities of the various forces attempting to control her destiny.

Spooniest spoons that ever spooned
Size: Large Pack
I don't know how excited anyone can get about spoons, but hey, they spooned. Decent thickness because they didn't snap when I took a scoop of soup or chili or whatever I had. They look like spoons. They're the size of spoons although I wish all disposable spoons had more surface area in the scoopy part of the spoonage. Really good price for what you're getting and I'm being prompted to comment on ease of use. If you need to know anything about how easy or difficult using a spoon is, you probably shouldn't be using one, supervised or otherwise. Spoon on!

Durable and versatile disposable spoons
Size: Large Pack
These plastic spoons are sturdier than most disposables I've tried, holding up well to both hot soup and frozen desserts without bending. The pack of 100 means I always have plenty on hand for home meals, lunches and picnics, and the clear design looks nicer than flimsy white utensils. I appreciate that they are safe to use and made from food-grade, BPA-free plastic. While the handles are hollow, they've been strong enough for cereal, yogurt and everyday use. They provide great value for the price and save me from washing dishes.
