In 2001 Mick Jagger had a dinosaur (masiakasaurusjaggeri,'vicious lizard of Jagger') named after him by palaeontologist Scott Sampson. True or False?
I reckon it is FALSE
From HERE :- In Malagasy, masiaka means "vicious"; thus, the genus name means "vicious lizard". The type species, Masiakasaurus knopfleri, was named after the musician Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits fame, "whose music inspired expedition crews".
From HERE :- In 1995, a trilobite species was named after The Rolling Stones’ singer Mick Jagger by Adrain and Edgecombe. As if that’s not neat enough, turns out Aegrotocatellus means "sick puppy" in Latin. Mick Jagger was quite popular amongst the paleontologists – turns out there’s another species named after him: a fossilized mollusk called Anomphalus jaggerius.
Last month we asked you: ‘Sound travels about four times faster in air than in water. True or False?’ It’s FALSE - 47% guessed correctly! It's actually the other way round, sound travels about four times faster in water than in air
