Eggs found in Dino mom

Rayna sent me this link and it is about a really cool discovery in China. The prep crew of the museum was preping out the skeleton of an oviraptor when they came across two eggs within it. Now we have oviraptor eggs so it was easy to determine from egg shape, and egg shell structure that this was oviraptor and not some wierd fluke. I'm not up on my biology, but apparently how the eggs were in there, or something made scientist at least in the articles i've read so far belive that this is more evidence of dinos being a cross between reptiles and birds. Well wish I had time to talk about this more because it's very interesting, but I have to get back to my paper. I've posted a pic of one of the eggs found in the dino mom and an artists version of an oviraptor below.

Wedding dress update: you know how they always make fun of the Pucchi collection? On my bus ride to school, I always noticed this shop that had the oddest of wedding dresses in the window. This morning I finally looked at the name of the store. Yep, you guessed it: St. Pucchis!

Ha, thats great. I'll have to go back on that site and check out those dresses, I don't remember what they look like.
The year before I got married, I was getting Bride magazine and boy, there were some creative dresses in there. I'd just look at them and think, are those for real or just like crazy run way stuff?
