  I dislike that these articles always refer to the dinosaurs and their “extinction” or “demise” or similar terms. The clade of dinosaurs is not extinct. Birds are dinosaurs. People need to know this.

  They should just talk about the extinction of the pterosaurs instead. Not only would it be accurate, it would also implicitly teach that not everything alive then was a dinosaur, including the famous pterodactyl.

  "Boltysh crater lies south of the Dnieper river’s right bank."

  Here's a photo covering several thousand square kilometers and a river with a dozen different branches. The river runs generally north to south. Where's Waldo?

  Firefox throws up an "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" error when I click on this link.

  Chrome is giving me "NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID"

  This is quite surprising. Anyone experiencing the same?

  Edit: 15 mins later, the link works. But I have to sign up to read it.
