I can't even express how perfect the name "Piny the Elder" is for a Pangolin.

Here are two making babies. They are wonderful animals and I am appalled that some here want immediately to kill them. They are found mostly in the Mediterranean (hence the genus name Tethys - from the Tethys Ocean, a Mesozoic-era ocean between the continents of Gondwana and Laurasia) but even in the US coastal…

fortunately for him, most angry ex-players won't remember this come tomorrow.

There's no face like snow face!

But can he read these?

Forget chickens. Do the hoatzin. Claws on wings (when young; also can be regrown as an adult), gut like a cow, red eyes, dinosaurian wings, feathers, and crest...and they sound prehistoric, too.

I really hope I could get to that level of skill, I'm starting art school next month hopefully I'll learn something that'll help me to get there. Here is one of mine (I did this one in October 2013):

I like the content of this comment but I wish I could dial down its snarkiness by about 15%

Tell ya what. Get a PhD in sauropod vertebrate paleontology, so you can go a little beyond trying to guess "how can they do that?", and come back and tell us what you've learned. See you in, oh, four to six years? Have fun. Send us a card every few months so we know how you're doing.PS: This is the kind of stuff you…

Ask the Titans. Provided they actually say anything.

DINNER TIME!

Titans that look like babies, eh?

Call me when they can make a railgun using my hands.

They were beat out by the Punctualgrades. HEYOOOO!

Uhm... Cancer as a living fossil is controversial to say the least. I work in cancer research. Cancer cells are not some throwback to earlier times. They are cells that have malfunctioning machinery in their replication cycle. To say that equals them representing ancient single cells animals is like saying my…

It's useful for the evolution of a specific characteristic. Otherwise I agree, I think quite a lot of the misconceptions about evolution stem from applying a concept that was developed pre-Origin of Species to evolution (that of a species).

A couple of comments:

China has a huge and important culture..and part of that culture is learning through copying is a good thing. Tbh every other human does it that way, we simply try to hide it better. I would be careful to write off China so easily..They will most probably dominate your future too.
