A horrible death

Duty is heavy like a mountain, but death is as light as a feather. This is what the samurai code of honour says. Samurai were the medieval knights of Japan and served their masters with a passion. If a samurai failed at carrying out his duty, he would bring shame upon himself and his family. To save face, he was sometimes allowed to commit a gruesome form of ritual suicide (seppuku).

Prehistoric crocodile beats T-Rex

We probably all think the T-Rex was the most feared and powerful creature in the prehistoric era. However, according to Gregory M. Erickson of Florida State University, the Deinosuchus was more powerful than the T-Rex. This creature lived during the late Cretaceous and its name means “terrible crocodile”. Deinosuchus fossils have been found in ten U.S. states, including Texas, Montana, and many states along the East Coast. Some of them were also found in northern Mexico.
