This Isla Dawn broad was once in WWE, right? I recall that booty.

Makes sense since you're a totally normal human, who is on the smaller side and, thus, not as easy to see.


These are true facts!


I’m not sure Hangman understands proper chains as jewelry.
Hello, all ye puny humans!!!!


I don’t believe I’ve been in a thread, much less watched wrestling, in weeks. How is everyone?

Seems like a match for a million dollars would not be the second match on a weekly show.


It’s wrestling money. That stuff grows on trees.

Funnily enough, the “bird-hipped” dinosaurs aren’t even the ones most closely related to birds.
quote:

I don't want to believe that dinosaurs had cloacas and I don't have to


I’m confused by this. What do you want them to have, and why wouldn’t they have cloacae considering the overall clade in which they fall?

Turtles have cloaca.
Alligators have cloaca.
Snakes have cloaca
Birds have cloaca.

Apologies if I’m missing some sort of joke.

What does the word "raptor" mean?


Something like “pillager” or “thief.”
quote:

What they portray is closer to a Utahraptor. The name just isn’t as cool as velociraptor


It’s not even that. Utahraptor wasn’t officially named in science until the same month the movie came out, which was well after the book was written.

If anything, the “Velociraptors” in the Park films are scaled up Deinonychus. I’m pretty sure one of the paleontologists used as a consultant for the novel (Horne?) had tried lumping the Deinonychus genus under Velociraptor in the 80s, and Crichton thought the word sounded cooler (subjective) and, in my opinion, is easier to say.

Clearly this buddy of yours is not a connoisseur of Godzilla movies.

Science takes a while sometimes.

From observation to crunching numbers to writing to manuscript submittal to revisions to publication.

You can check out their publication here at Science Direct.



I haven’t read much of the article, but I did see that rats were using a platform in the caves that hole bat-counting equipment. Maybe they ought to figure out a change there.
quote:

They don't have some special bat hunting appendages


Yet…haha.

It would be interesting if this is simply a learned behavior at this point and/or if the “learned behavior” had led to some adaption.



It’s going to be hell with the bats and rats start working together. Bats dropping plague rats on the human populace would be frightening!
