Some days, life gives you little treats. The figure at the left appeared in the most recent issue of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology in an article on binocular vision in theropods.
I'm not going to say that this picture didn't belong in a scientific paper. Quite the contrary, I believe that more scientists should have a little sense of humor about their work. I'm sure that these guys and, no doubt, the journal's editors have a sense of humor because they would otherwise not have pictured the skull with it's jaws open; they would have just cropped it at the snout as in figure A.
