Did insects kill the DINOSAURS?

Scientist have a new theory as why the dinosaurs have died, and they found it in their poop[ fossilized poop]. As scientist studied dinosaur fossils, they have found in there fossilized poop is a bunch of insects. Some of the insects include ticks, nematodes,biting flies and other nasty intestinal parasites parasites during the Cretaceous period. Some of the insects can cause diseases and the dinosaurs couldn't fight it. Some scientist don't believe that insects killed the dinosaurs, but what do you believe?

The Use of Steroids in the MLB

The use of steroids in the MLB is a very serious thing. Many loved players like Andy Pettitte, Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds are accused of taking steroids. Steroids are performance enhancing drugs that make people stronger. By stronger I mean faster, hitting more homeruns and throwing unhitable pitches. The steroid use has been going on for a while, but this year it has gotten very serious. Bud Selig( the commisioner of baseball ) has made a 409 page list of players that possibly took steroids. Bud wanted to prove they took steroids by having blood and urine test. With the use of these illegal steroids, players can break records that hall of famers set. Bud Serlig has made the use of steroids very serious, and that is why the use of steroids is very serious in theMLB. http://sportsillustrated.com
