how to hook up with an archaeologist:

Are you an archaeologist?
Cause I have a very large bone for you to examine.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Actually it's not technically a bone but the people at the time pretty much agreed it would be called that colloquially

which was the fashion at the time

Aren’t paleontologists the ones that deal with bones?

one very large duck bone or 100 tiny duck bones?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Well? It’d have to be a large duck bone to hide behind, so…. Let’s go with that.

Maybe from this guy?(do rubber ducks have bones?)

I’m going to politely suggest that “not falling into pitfall traps” falls under those boilerplate job duties nobody reads or gives a fuck about.

Just saying, it may be a relatively uncommon job duty…. But it is one.

Look if you want me to just stay alive on the job you're gonna have to put that in my contract and pay me for it

If it was not clearly identified, even if I see it, I'll intentionally fall in it to have an OSHA-paid vacation.

It falls (ha) under "Other duties as assigned" in the job description.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oddly specific. Is this a fetish?

I think it's related to the tumblr post about killing a geologist
