British researchers have uncovered the fossilized remains of what could be the largest bug ever to roam the Earth. The fossil measures about eight feet long from tail to claw and appears to be of a Jaekelopterus Rhenaniae, a type of ancient sea scorpion that lived in Germany about 400 million years ago. While Jurassic Park was full of cute, cuddly (and sometimes deadly) dinosaurs, one shudders to think what horrors await the unlucky patrons of Six Flags Over the Devonian. More details here.
