Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 20, 2012

Cue the menacing music…

Okay, J.J. is officially a miracle worker. He drew a realistic ladybug that actually looks surprised.

I’ve read that the captioning on early cave drawings depicting “the hunt” and “the feast that followed” translates roughly into “tastes like chicken”

Dinosaurs had two different pelvises, saurischians and ornithischians and I have not been able to sort out if the lizard pelvises didn’t have feathers and the bird pelvises did?

Have you dealt with domestic turkeys? My daughter ordered six sweet poults (baby turkeys – looked it up), which turned into mountains of murderous flesh that would go after toes and other body parts. One almost broke my daughter’s arm with its wing when she tried to pick it up. My son-in-law found a dead turkey that the others had turned on, maybe because they saw blood on it. (They were free range, so they weren’t cooped up.) In just a few months, some of them had gotten so huge they could barely stand. Never again.

Obviously, Janis has never encountered an angry cassowary.

Jeff Kasinger: Yep, Science is satanic. God would just wave a magic wand to create because that’s what we would do if we had the power. Because a 19th century Church of Ireland bishop says so, that’s why.

You should have met my father – a Methodist minister with three Upper Cretaceous discoveries to his credit. You would be boggled. Most pre-20th century science was by clergy: Copernicus, Newton, Priestly, Mendal. Darwin was in seminary when his geology professor suggested he might be interested in a break as naturalist on the Beagle expedition.

someone peeled back the lip of a chicken after it sat in formadahide. and he found teeth buds. just like the ones he saw in the t-rex. and both the chicken and t-rex were found to have the exact number of bones and type of bones…….

by the way, chickens are ominvores. they will eat rodents if given a chance. if no meat or bug protein is around. they will go after each other.

Just noticed – I think that the pointy leaf-things should all be colored green, as two or three of them are. I don’t think they’re supposed to be part of the chicken.

Just looking out the window at the goldfinch at the feeder. It’s the cutest little dinosaur!

To be truthful, if you get to know hummingbirds, it’s obvious they are related to the Terror Birds…Pugnacious is the word bird books use. It’s a good thing they don’t weight much more than a paper clip, they’d be dangerous….

Is that Chicken Boo?

It’s Beyonce! The Giant Metal Chicken. (google it)
