I was always told manufacturing and construction breed the meanest coworkers.
Then I learned about decades of journalistic wars between paleontologist that boil down to "I'm right, they're wrong, therefore I present we name this species after my opponent. The 'Doodoostupidheadasaurus'. It has a never-before-seen giant penis bone, which I shall call the "Rightusbiggusdickusflagellum'."
All because someone didn't properly attribute two words back in grad school.
They're also the only discipline I'm aware of that frequently sabotaged each other's research using TNT like Looney Tunes characters
That's hilarious! Sauce?
I played up the dynamite aspect a bit there, but The Bone Wars were very real, very not a porn, and reads more like a Cohen Brothers spec script than anything that, you know, actually happened
well, they're porn now. but they were a real non porn thing for a while first.
Quite a lot of modern dinosaurs sing so why not
Yeah, some can even talk like humans!
Sadly, they only knew only one song. After singing "7 AM, waking up in the morning, Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs, Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal, …" every day over and over again, they eventually collectively committed suicide.
Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up, I noticed I was late...
They probably sounded like geese, but on a lower octave.
Can I just be honest and say Steggos are my favorite?
They probably sing better than I do, too
If it was spinosaurus we would have lost half of our world's paleontologists.
