    For better or worse, no. Just an attempt at an attention-grabbing title.

    nope!

    I faintly remember hearing that a few years ago in some late night listening to a guy talk of pre-historic species and their representation in children's toys

    surprisingly good channel now that I think back on it

    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

    Just finished going through almost 7 years of a bi-monthly podcast. It took almost 3 weeks. Now knowing my luck, it will end in two months when the 7 year anniversary comes around.

    Phylogenetically, yes, just like humans are apes. Phylogenetically, humans are also fish. And so are dinosaurs.

    The visual image in toys and various movies (looking at you Jurassic Park) cements a certain image, and its easy enough to mistake them as dinosaurs considering they're close enough phylogenetically

    at that age you really are a special kid if you actually care about phylogeny

    so instead if a kid knows it, he/she's just trying to flex dem big brainz

    probably the same punchable kid that yells any answer they knew through the classroom instead of raising your hand like a normal person
    or the punchable teacher that answers: "Can I piss now" with "I dunno can you har-har"
