Gretchen VogelThis deformed bone is the first clear example of a malignant tumor diagnosed in a dinosaur. The partial fibula—a bone from the lower leg—belonged to a horned, plant-eating Centrosaurus that lived roughly 76 million years ago in what is now Dinosaur Park in southern Alberta in Canada.Paleontologists initially thought the bone’s strange shape was due to a fracture that hadn’t healed cleanly.

Doctors slam critics of Cardi B’s ‘WAP’ song: Don’t shame ‘healthy’ women

racy new single, “WAP,” featuring rapper Megan Thee Stallion, has made a real splash on social media for the explicit song’s sex-positive lyrics, which focus solely on women’s satisfaction in the bedroom. (The title itself is both an acronym for “Wet Ass P - - - y” and onomatopoeia for a certain sound made during some forms of intercourse.)However, some critics have expressed dismay and confusion over the premise of the 27-year-old rap superstar’s song — namely the glorification of lubrication.“My only real concern is that the women involved — who apparently require a ‘bucket and a mop’ — get the medical care they require,” conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, 36, wrote on Twitter.
