3. Scientists find new stubby-armed dinosaur in Argentina

In Argentina, researchers recently discovered a new species of meat-eating dinosaur possessing arms the size of a small child’s. The Gualicho shinyae is being compared to the Tyrannosaurus Rex given their arms’ and fingers’ similarities, but they come from a different branch of the family tree. Nicknamed Gualicho, the dino belonged to the theropod group, or two-legged dinosaurs. It weighed around 450 kg and measured between six and seven meters in length.

Gualicho joins other theropods like the T. Rex in having short arms. But the question is why do they have arms that size in the first place? Scientists believe that it’s all in their powerful bite. “A pretty straightforward explanation, you would think, is that the limbs are being reduced in these lineages that probably are relying more on the jaws for prey capture,” said Nathan Smith of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.

Let’s hope that we can reproduce these dinosaurs in the future and ride them around like Dino Riders:

2. Holocaust museum asks Pokémon Go players to stop playing during visits

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum asked people not to play Pokémon Go while inside its premises. A spokesman for the museum said that it is extremely inappropriate for people to play the game inside a place that paid respects to victims of the Nazi regime.

Three miles away from the museum, the Arlington National Cemetery has also been getting visits from Pokémon players. Cemetery officials also deemed playing the games on their grounds as inappropriate.

The museum and cemetery are both reportedly Pokéstops, destinations where players can stop and collect virtual items for their Pokémon.

A holocaust museum and a cemetery? Come on guys. Some places are just off-limits.
