    How many lions did it take to make the costume? As for snoring and dreaming not being able to happen in unison, is it because the snoring distracts the dreaming?

    Unless you dream that your snoring. The snoring in your dream prevents you from knowing your really snoring.

    “Thagomizer” is a term Gary Larson invented for “The Far Side.” Paleontologists liked the name and started using it.

    And how were they able to tell if someone is snoring and dreaming at the same time or not?

    I watched Ripley’s Believe it or Not with Dean Cain, and I’m wondering if Scott on one of the last two episodes is a pyromaniac. Personally if there’s a forest fire, I stay as far away as possible. I saved the last episode because of the anacondas. It seems like there was a Ripley’s Believe it or Not television series back in either the 70’s or 80’s.

    Take care and may God bless.

    The Thagomizer refers to ALL the spikes on the end of the stegosaurus tail, not just one of them!

    This could explain why my snoring startles me awake sometimes.

    Waking up a snoring person and asking what they were dreaming about was the research on that? Or was it done with a neurohallucinatorypsychophysiologicalencephlagram?

    That looks more like a flea crossbow she’s holding.

    I hope the queen stockpiled a LOT of ammo.

    Taking a bath, more than once a month may have helped getting rid of the fleas!

    Why am I not surprised that a lion was killed for his skin so a stupid movie character could have a costume.

    According to this article, whether or not you can dream and snore at the same time is still a topic for debate.

    The word “Thagomizer” was first used in Gary Larson’s The Far Side. No mention of that?
