Take that Beakman!

Dharma has been watching reruns of Beakman's World on Netflix the last few weeks.  Tonight she watched an episode that discussed dinosaurs.  Before Beakman went to "commercial" he mentioned that would reveal the largest dinosaur when he came back.  Quickly I said, "Dharma, what's the largest dinosaur?"

To which she answered, "Argentinosaurus!"

Beakman came back from commercial and continued on with his show.  He finally got around to the largest dinosaur...Seismosaurus?!  WHAT?!  Dharma laughed.  She actually laughed at Beakman.  Like she knew something he didn't.  Turns out she did.

I started to investigate.  The first Argentinosaurus bone was discovered in 1987, however at the time, it was thought to be a piece of petrified wood, so it was disregarded.  It was not until 1993 that it was found to be the skeletal remains of a dinosaur (as read here and here).  So, I can only assume that the episode we were watching was recorded in one of the first two seasons as Beakman's World aired from 1992 - 1997.

I'm just glad that show is off the air or she'd be having me write them a letter, too.  lol
