A fun story about kids trespassing in New Mexico.

This kind of thing seems to happen enough that when I was a small child I thought that it was just a matter of digging enough times and you'll stumble over a T-rex or something. My something was chicken bones. :(

I found an illegal dumping ground for cow bones.

Our layer of countless chicken bones should be a primary sediment marker for the beginning of humanity's epoch, as well as a condemnation.

Tardigrades of the future will be beyond condemning.

We have no law to fit your crime.

He looks like the chubby kid from "Stand By Me"

Yeah, the guy who's now ripped and married to Rebecca Romijn.

That's right - I forgot about that

Ultra Nerd Hero Will Wheaton has done quite well for himself, too. Even Corey Feldman had a lovely wife until he got weird and decided he wanted to become a hybrid between Michael Jackson and Hugh Hefner. Had River Phoenix lived, he'd probably be married to Kate Beckinsale the like.

(edit)
On a side note, I just listened to an audiobook read by Wheaton, and he did a good job, better than many I have heard. It was Armada, the followup to the widely praised Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. While RPO was a lighthearted, techno nostalgia adventure (as I recall), Armada felt like a forced attempt at recapturing that nostalgic name dropping energy while putting it in a Serious Context. I think it was unsuccessful.

I love me some Wil. He would full on bash, and make fun of his Wesley Crusher character in interviews, and his guest appearances were the main reason I became a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory. You don't find many actors that are willing/able to make fun of their characters like that, or play dark sinister versions of themselves on hit TV shows just for the fun of it.

I actually had to get that T-Shirt he was wearing on an interview, that had the old-school D and D dice that said "this is how I roll" under them.

I saw him on Whose Line is it Anyway. Most of the guest stars on that show are just props, but he was getting into it and participating. Good stuff.

I get the impression that he is a real, honest, no bullshit guy. I hated him back when he was Whiney Wesley, but I have come to respect him in his post TNG life.

NM's a good place for that stuff. I still remember as a kid when I got to see them excavating coeleophysis from Ghost Ranch.
