The Money Pit

I once watched a movie called The Money Pit with friends on the basis that all Tom Hanks movies are okay. This is the movie that shattered my belief in Tom Hanks' invincibility. There are so many things wrong with the movie, but in this little article a lawyer pulls it apart from the legal angle.

Does your money have glow in the dark dinosaurs on it?


According to the National Post:

"The image of a dinosaur whose remains were discovered in Alberta’s Peace Country will be featured on our newest quarter — the first Canadian coin with a glow-in-the dark picture. The quarter, being released by the Royal Canadian Mint April 16, features Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai, a large herbivore whose bone fragments were discovered by Grande Prairie, Alta., science teacher Al Lakusta in 1974."


The sad part is that the reverse side of the coin does not feature a glow-in-the dark skeleton Queen Elizabeth.
