The (Mesozoic) Cow Jumped Over the (Steroid-Soaked) Moon

Hey there, science fans! It was a week with some interesting news about and involving science.

First, to the world of sports: Barry Bonds was indicted on perjury charges this week. The perjury in question was about his use of steroids, so how about a basic refresher: What are steroids? And just what are the effects of steroids on the human body?

The late fall and winter months are the best for stargazers and lunar observers. I'm a Moon man myself, and so I hope you'll join me in getting out the ol' telescope and lunar charts and take advantage of tonight's half-moon. Here's a guide to get you started.

Scientists this week revealed the discovery of a dinosaur whose appetite resembles that of a modern cow--plants, grasses and the like. Its mouth had several rows of teeth, better to chew that stringy cellulose. Learn more from the Los Angeles Times.

I found your site by searching for "jumped over the men with his teeth" I just thought that was interesting. You are ranked number one with that keyword.
