The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Can You Spot the Error?

I went to make a bowl of oatmeal this morning, and noticed two glaring errors on the box's little challenge. Naturally I could not let something that so blatantly flew in the face of all my childhood dinosaur research go unpunished. Is it kids'oatmeal? Yes. Am I reading way too far into this? Perhaps. But a mistake is a mistake nonetheless. See if you can spot 'em!

Edit: technically there's a third error, too!

Anklyosaurus - Ankylosaurus
and...
Pterodactyl - Pterodactylus

Not sure about the third error. I don't see anything...but I'll keep looking. xD

Edit: unless you mean that they just wrote "Tyrannosaurus" and not "Tyrannosaurus Rex".

Oh shoot! Didn't even see the misspelling. The Pterodactyl being a Pteranodon was the extra mistake I saw. That being said, the other two are hiding in plain sight, and are mistakes no self-respecting paleontologist would ever make!

Dimetrodon and Pterodactyl aren't dinosaurs, are they?

BINGO! Now granted it's just a box of oatmeal, but still- I can't let something like that slip! Good eye!
