calling a star exploding a “new” star and the birth of the universe “the big bang” is classic example of scientists naming things.

i’m sure you all learned at school that dinosaur means “terrible lizard”, despite them being neither. even worse is iguanadon, which means “iguana’s tooth”, because that’s what its discoverer thought he was looking at.

on the other hand there’s colymbosathon ecplecticos, which translates to “astounding swimmer with a large penis”. which is without a doubt the best dinosaur name. good job scientists!
