Why do museums have old dinosaur bones?
Because they can't afford new ones!
Linguistic Brilliance
Did You Know?
The joke implies dinosaurs still exist to have "new" bones! Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago after an asteroid impact. Dinosaur fossils form when bones are replaced by minerals over millions of years. The most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found sold for $31.8 million in 2020. Museums spend years excavating and preparing fossil displays!
