parasaurolophus call
scientists at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History have reconstructed the skull and crest of Parasaurolophus and used digital acoustics to recreate the calls it would have made using the huge resonating chamber on top of its head.
check out a sound not heard on earth for 75 million years.
(remember, though, that the sound would have been modulated by soft tissues, which haven’t been preserved- so, unfortunately, this is just an approximation, albeit a pretty awesome one)

If the aliens do ever come to say hi, I hope they hold a comprehensive press conference where they go through the list of reported UFO sightings and abductions and let us know what’s what.
“That’s a fly. That one is a weather ballon. That was actually us. Another weather balloon. That one looks like it could be the Quadragamatons, but you’d all probably be dead if it were.”

ackee, the national fruit of jamaica. when ripe it splits open into three lobes, and the yellowish meat inside can be cooked. until fully open, though, it’s poisonous- eating it will result in ‘jamaican vomiting sickness,’ which is exactly what it sounds like.
