First, as we enumerate our regrets for the past year, I regret that my favorite paleontological story of 2011 turned out to be junk science. I would like to apologize for the Kraken Debacle. I promise that, as we embrace the promise of 2012, I will not hastily throw up a link without checking for corroborating material just because the headline seems awesome.
