That thread makes reference to ther dinosaurs with famous names:

Aegrotocatellus jaggeri ? Mick Jagger ( a kind of trilobite )
Perirehaedulus richardsi ? Keith Richards ( trilobite)
Agathidium bushi ? George W. Bush ( round fungus beetle )
Agathidium cheneyi ? Dick Cheney ( round fungus beetle )
Agathidium rumsfeldi ? Donald Rumsfeld ( round fungus beetle )
Avalanchurus simoni ? Paul Simon ( trilobite)
Avalanchurus garfunkeli ? Art Garfunkel ( trilobite)
Hyla stingi ? Sting. Colombian tree frog named in recognition of his work for the rain forest.

I wonder if the poster was joking about it...
