Millennium Dinosaur - get out the vote



Here is a project on which the dinosaur list can work as a group
for its favorite extinct lifeforms.  As has been posted before, Paul
Sereno is running in the Chicago Marathon on October 24.  One
aspect of this marathon is that the celebrity runner who gets the 
most votes on the website below will win $2500 (or $2500 for
fastest time, or $5000 for a combination thereof) for his favorite
charity.  

Project Exploration, which is trying to raise money for the mount 
and exhibit of the sauropod "The Millennium Dinosaur," would be the 
recipient if Dr. Sereno gets the most votes. The vote was reset on 
September 24 because of spam voting for some folks who are probably
not at all interested in dinosaurs.

It would be great if members of our list could visit:
http://www.tribads.com/cmcc/index.htm
and cast a vote for Dr. Sereno.  It costs nothing and benefits dinosaurs.

However, if you should want to contribute towards this program, go to:
http://dinorun.org/dinorun/DinoRunPage.html
and read about what is being planned.  Keep in mind that new exhibits
a) stimulate public interest in dinosaurs, b) bring money in for more
research, c) create jobs for future paleontologists.
