    Looks like cfabbro arrived via a .com link, and you via a .co.uk link. And only the original poster or Deimos can delete posts. My hands are tied in that regard.

    First dinosaur bone from Antarctica found in a drawer

    An unassuming-looking fossil that spent 40 years lying forgotten in a drawer has turned out to be the first dinosaur bone ever found in Antarctica.

    The specimen was unearthed in 1985, but the team that discovered it was not sure what it was - so it was stored away in the geology collection of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in Cambridge.

    Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like national oceanic and atmospheric administration, reddit.old and pickup lines. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was tuned in.

    But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!

    Yeah, it's now one of my favourite comments I've read on Tildes. I'm a sucker for historical anecdotes.
