Still looking for that perfect dining table centerpiece? How about a $20 million T-Rex skull? Sotheby’s is set to auction off Maximus Rex, notably “the first of its kind ever to appear at public auction.” The distinctive skull is mounted on an iron pedestal and stands roughly six feet seven inches tall. Weighing in over 200 pounds, the skull was first discovered and excavated on private land in the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. This formation has already yielded more T-Rex material than anywhere else in the world and also produced Sue, the first dinosaur ever sold at auction – to the Chicago Field Museum for $8.3 million in 1997. Maximus Rex is expected to fetch $15 to $20 million, with the auction going live on December 9. Inflation, right?

Bring Home Your Little One’s Very First Electric Balance Bike
STACYCThe STACYC 12eDrive is a super capable, badass-looking balance bike for new riders (“little rippers”) and can help your child learn to push, stay stable and eventually coast on their first bike. To get them started, help your child practice with no battery before eventually tackling three different levels of powered modes (“the holy grail of fun,” per STACYC). Designed for children with an inseam of at least 14 inches and good for inseams of up to 20 inches, the bike boasts a 13-inch seat. Its TIG welded aluminum frame keeps it lightweight, and the True Twist Throttle makes it easy for young riders to master the controls. With a 30 – 60 minute charge time, the 20Vmax voltage bike can run for up to an hour – depending on the terrain.
