Thursday is all about taco's. Ones you can eat, and one's that run into traffic and cause a scene! Here are Thursday's stories that go "Over the Edge".
 
A runaway emu is haulting traffic on a state highway in Florida. This daring 5 foot bird named "Taco" jumped over his owner's fence and ran into traffic, leading to the deputies being called. Police ended up having to contact the owner, who lured the bird into a truck to take him home.

And speaking of taco's, Thursday is national taco day! So grab yourself a flower tortilla, or a crunchy one if that's your thing, and load on the beef, chicken, pork, fish, you name it, then pile on the toppings. History professors say the word "taco" likely originated from silver mines in eighteenth century mexico, so there's your taco fact for national taco day

A scientist at the University of Chicago says he's discovered a new dinosaur. He says the "pegomastax africanus" would have looked a little like a two legged porcupine. He also says the animal was less that two feet long, weighed less than a house cat, and lived about two hundred million years ago. While this scientist was the first to describe the species, it was actually excavated in the 1960's.
