Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 30, 2012

I’m with you, Alice!

I lost faith when brontosaurus became apatosaurus.

Oh, so they all died off of embarrassment.

Yeah, you have to make up something new if you’re going to sell your book.

Remember the movie Sleeper. Woody Allen: “Cigarettes are good for you now?”

One day coffee is bad for you, two weeks later it does no harm to you.

The sissification of a noble animal..

So Dinosaurs evolved to slippers.

And so sarcasm wins the day….

And now a teridactile isn’t even a dinosaur anymore. Yes I know I didn’t spell that right. :-)

Right on Petey! Is it a Pterodactyl or Pteranodon?

I’m with Alice! Dinosaurs are way more interesting now. Brightly colored and furred/feathered is way cooler than the big camo lizards they used to be.

I’m sure scientists are now seeking funding so they can search for proof of the fuzzy, pink, Alicesaurus.

When i 6 or so, i loved dinosaurs…still do buts thats not the point…i was like alice. Every little detail about them would blow my mind

That’s right, Petey. They went around all day in feathers and fur and wearing bright colors. That made it so hard to get dates that they just died out. (At least it was hard to get dates they could reproduce with.)

I’m with Petey! When I was a kid I loved dinosaurs! I studied and studied on them. Then when I was older I found out that everything I had spent my time learning was wrong cause scientists change their minds every other week and almost all my knowledge was outdated! And if you follow their “new discoveries” you’ll see a lot of it’s lies. Like they found two skeletons laying next to each other and decided that they were one skeleton and crammed the pieces together till they made one mutant dinosaur that was clearly made up of parts from two individual ones. So I’m out. I still love the concept of dinosaurs but I don’t take any knowledge on them to be true.

Brontosaurus was ruled an invalid species name in 1903…Pterosaurs, such as the pterodactyls, have never been considered dinosaurs. There are are all archosaurs, a division of reptiles than includes the crocodilians.The big change in recent decades is the idea that birds should be classed in there with dinosaurs. There’s still a lot of debate about that.It says much about the sorry state of science education that a lot of people don’t get the core idea that science is all about finding past errors, correcting itself, and improving the body of knowledge. If science wasn’t always saying “oops, we had that wrong, but now we’ve learned more” then it wouldn’t be working.
