Just found in my university's library:

Mortimer, M. 2002. A new maniraptoran theropod from the sewers of New York,
New York. Journal of Comparative Research And Phylogeny 1(1): 1-2.

Published in the new Journal of C.R.A.P., this paper describes a new
theropod dinosaur, *Kinmania colonae*, from the Early Cretaceous sewers of
New York.  It is represented by a single caudal vertebra, but shows
distinctive synapomorphies placing it within the Maniraptora.  It seems to
be related to Capitalsaurus, it's more politically minded brother down
south.  The phylogenetic analysis is based on characters from two
unpublished dissertations and writing on a scrap of paper held by Tom Holtz
in a grainy photograph taken last year at SVP.

-In a response to this paper, an unnamed person has stated that since the
genus name *Kinmania* does not accurately represent the specimen's true
affinities, it should be changed to *Kinmaniformia*.
