Frankly, we think it's time to pick sides and back up the O.G.s in the battle of Guerrilla on Gorilla. Local militias and gangs frequently encroach on the apes' territory, either to kill them ...
Oregon Students Rickroll the Subway

Hey Look, It's a New Dinosaur!
Thanks to "Jurassic Park," everyone loves velociraptors. Apparently, the real-life dinos were about the size of a big turkey (around 33 lbs.), not so much like the horrifying beasts in the movie.
