We’re going to need a bigger boat: Following a recent discovery in Morocco, scientists have a better picture of a bizarre 50-foot-long sharklike dinosaur. Spinosaurus, which lived 95 million years ago, had a long neck, strong forearms and powerful jaws. Imagine a “Jurassic Park” dinosaur crossed with the great white from “Jaws.”

Or just wait until next week’s premiere on Syfy of “Sharkasaurus.”

We, the dudes and babes, in order to form a more awesome union: Among the new reality shows on Fox is “Utopia,” which throws 15 people together on rural acreage in California for a year to make rules and attempt to establish a working society.

Sure you could just watch C-SPAN, but most of the “Utopia” cast members already have better tans than even John Boehner.
