It's not going to get the #CrossBorderRail line built though, sadly… Link via @maartje

Why do you have to be this way, Camptosaurus?
Most dinosaurs are elegant animals. Tyrannosaurs are elegant biting machines. Chasmosaurs are elegent. Brachiosaurs are hella elegant. Even ankylosaurs have their own robust elegance. And then there's Camptosaurus. Why do you have to be so lumpen? What's your head doing down there? What the heck are your ilia doing up there? What are they even supposed to be, TV aerials?
