" Good news ! " announced Stegosaurus early last week.

" I have reached the goal I set during my New Years' Resolution ! I am now 6,801 tons ! It must be a result of the verdure in France; their food is historically fattening, you know. I'm so happy, who wants to dance the lindy hop with me ? "

Stegosaurus prepares his last will and testament

Being of sound body and mind, ( even if it is only the size of a walnut, ) I, Stegosaurus, prepare my last will and testament today, March 15th 2007 at the age of One Hundred Forty Million.

I hereby declare that at such time that I should become a fossil, my earthly remains be donated in perpetuity to the Maryland Science Center, on the basis that they do not at present have a Stegosaurus in their collection. If they should obtain one before I am a fossil, I should still like to be there, because as we all know, two stegosaurids are better than one.

All of my earthly posessions, such as extra copies of my book Gardening Tips With Stegosaurus, my platinum award for Stegosaurus Goes Opera and my autographed picture of Willis O' Brien shall be left in the care of my love, Marilyn Maxwell. Should I outlive her, my posessions shall then be left in the care of my cousins Kentrosaurus and Lexovissaurus.

Stegosaurus Makes His New Years' Resolution

" I'd like to make a resolution to gain more weight in 2007, " said Stegosaurus recently. " I am actually below my average weight for a Stegosaurus and I'd like to gain about 800 tons, give or take a ton, in the coming year. "
