Oh December-meme, December-meme...

All the cool kids were doing it, so I had to join in, too. [For those playing the home game, select the first sentence from the first post of each month and post the lot. I decided to include the first photo of each month, too.]

January - "I have a secret"

I got some good news last night that I'd love to share, but I think I'm going to keep my lips sealed for until the official announcement is up elsewhere.

Apparently Sb has been snapping up quality science bloggers at an extraordinary rate, and the latest member of the collective is Maria of Green Gabbro.

March - "Worst... interview... EVER!"

A few days ago I mentioned that paleontologist Terry Gates was going to appear on Bill O'Reilly's show to speak on the subject of whether global warming killed the dinosaurs.

April - "On to better things..."

I suppose today is as good a day as any to break the news to you all, especially since Janet has just made an announcement similar to the one I'm about to make.

May - "Freaking Out at Finals"

I've been really down this week, biting my nails about finals and my academic future (or potential premature end of it).

Those of you who stopped by this blog on Friday afternoon might have quickly glimpsed a post that is now missing.

August - "Albertonykus, Huanghetitan, Velafrons..."

When I was a kid remembering "all" the dinosaurs was pretty easy.

December - "The life, and death, of Ota Benga"

During the past week I've been tracking down information about various performing primates and famous apes like "Consul" and John Daniel, but as I did so something kept bothering me.

Wow... that really wasn't half as interesting as I thought it would be.
