Capitalsaurus of DC
The Official Dinosaur Act of 1998 made the Capitalsaurus Washington DC's official dinosaur. The problem is no such dinosaur exists. There is a bone, dug up a hundred years earlier, which may be from some sort of dinosaur, but even the Smithsonian doesn't know what kind. But hey, this is Washington, just make a law! DC declared January 28, 2001 Capitalsaurus Day, making it an official symbol and naming a street after the beast. Oh, and "Them Dino Bones" is the official song.
Only six months to go, and we can also celebrate the birthday of the first man to deliberately look for human fossils, Eugene Dubois. If only we were as advanced as his Java Man.
