This didn't happen today but the resurgence of TIMH reruns inspired me.
"Though Kilmister is gone, scientists have ensured his name will live on — perhaps forever — as part of the scientific name of a species of Jurassic crocodile relative. Lemmysuchus obtusidens — meaning "Lemmy's blunt-toothed crocodile" — belonged to an extinct group of marine crocs known as teleosaurs.
It lived approximately 164 million years ago in coastal waters near what is now Europe, and it measured about 19 feet (6 meters) in length and had a skull that was about 3 feet (1 m) long, according to a description in a new study.
"We'd like to think that he would have raised a glass to Lemmysuchus, one of the nastiest sea creatures to have ever inhabited the Earth," Steel said."
