With thanks to BEAJ at Bacon Eating Atheist Jew for this little titbit of information.
Apparently, I am much older than I thought. Shocking I know. And I mean MUCH older.
"Skeletal remains from a 220-million-year-old dinosaur reveal a prehistoric road runner of sorts, whose svelte figure and long legs allowed it to evade predators lickety-split." (I must say that I hold my age remarkably well under the circumstances. 220million years old, who would have thunk it? It appears to be so much like me that I am gob smacked.)
"The creature stood about 12 inches tall at the hips and weighed just 4.4 pounds. Its head-to-tail length was about 3 feet, with about half of that taken by the tail. The new species is aptly named Eocursor parvus, meaning 'early little runner.'" (Obviously I won't be requiring that people refer to me by my latin name of Eocursor parvus. Perhaps only on formal occasions or at fancy dress balls. It is also evidence of how the vocalization of this particular dinosaur has changed over time from the classic "meep meep" to the more modern, "beep beep."
Anyway, I am ecstatic that my predecessor has been found and so rigorously identified, after all, as a dinosaur, I would hate to have a type of primate as my common ancestor. We dinosaurs have our pride, you know.

ReplyDeleteWell, 220 million years old, is considerably older than I thought. so suffice it to say, I was a little shocked. :)
BEEP, Where are you?....
ReplyDeleteI love that song! lol! It hits us sooner or later huh.
ReplyDeleteBEEP, Where are you?....
ReplyDeleteGood question.

ReplyDeleteSo I guess that means you're also much wiser than you thought, too? :D
ReplyDeleteHey, doll, where've you gotten off to?
ReplyDeleteSome of us are worried, y'know.
Sorry guys, I have been lazy. (This is not to be miscontrued to mean that I have a real life! :) )
ReplyDeleteI hope to post more regularly again in the future, but for the moment, I am off on a holiday for a week. Hopefully, I will take a few photographs and make a youtube video for a bit of fun.
See you when I get back. Keep up the good work on your blogs. Toooodle oooooooo. :)
Funny, I you don't look a day over 210 million years old...

ReplyDeleteDude, you’re most certainly entitled to your whorizontal belief; however, if I alone cannot audit the Fed in this Great Depression, I certainly CAN reflect on where our angst leads U.S. Lets get past alla the hypocritical BS of religion we arrogant mortals think and focus on how infinitely teeny-tiny our existence is. 88ish meeesly years VS. the length and breadth of eternity?? C’mon, pal. Whether you wanna believe-me-or-not, is certainly up to one person, you; however, you alone outta the billions of human beings have a precious, indelible soul. I personally don’t wanna lose you. See ya soon. God bless.
