The Headlines: Kent County urges residents: Don’t toss out your Civil War cannonballs Scientists claim they’re creating T. rex leather using dinosaur DNA Grand Rapids Residents Warned: Please Don’t Recycle Your Cannonballs In one of the more unusual spring cleaning reminders, the Kent County Recycling Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan is asking residents not to dispose of Civil War-era cannonballs at local recycling sites. This follows a recent incident where someone actually tried to toss one out. Cannonballs are classified as potentially hazardous historical items, and the center is urging folks to call authorities or local museums instead of dropping them at the curb.Source: MLive – Cannonball Disposal Warning T. Rex Leather? Scientists Say They’re Growing It in a Lab A group of biotech startups claims they're working on producing the world’s first lab-grown “Tyrannosaurus rex leather.” The idea? Use fossilized collagen proteins as a genetic blueprint, then reverse-engineer those sequences in the lab to create luxury leather that mimics the feel of real dino skin. It’s not quite Jurassic Park, but the science behind it is raising eyebrows—and plenty of ethical and scientific questions. Realistically, the product may only resemble dinosaur leather in theory, but if it works, it could shake up the fashion industry.Source: Futurism – T.
