The Buckets by Greg Cravens for November 16, 2020

The Chinese have been digging up fossilized feathered dinosaurs for years, though not before Gramps was born.

This from a man who should remember the term “Horsefeathers”

I’ve done a few cartoons over the years with this theme. Summed up by paraphrasing Douglas Adams: “Anything invented before we’re born is good and correct. Anything invented before we’re twenty is new and sexy and we can probably get a career out of it. Anything invented after we’re thirty five it an abomination and should be stopped.” Feel free to look it up. He probably said it much better.

I recall having a “discussion” with an elderly gent about language. His position came down to American English was what he was taught in grade school (pre-WW1). I pointed out that as an IT person, 90% of my work vocabulary was either new or repurposed. He also thought computer were abominations.

yes but I have to say, now that I’m a little tiny bit older, e-bikes are a nice new thing.

I wish they would make up their minds. The conclusion I draw is they still don’t have a clue.
