I get the joke but it’s not in any way a T-Rex. Pterosaurs aren’t even dinosaurs.

Pterosaurs aren’t even dinosaurs.

Next you’re going to tell me Pluto isn’t even a planet!
Good day sir… I said GOOD DAY!

Hey man, it’s not my fault that Pluto isn’t big enough to clean up its room.

Yeah, I got all excited about the idea of a fossil discovery of a tyrannosaurus-like dinosaur with wings until I realized this was just stupid clickbait.

Hey, speaking of which, did you know that the Ogre-Faced spider has a veritable field of super-powered spider-penises?

I still don’t understand how pterosaurs flew with those giant fuckin’ heads. They’re like chibi versions of themselves (without that being cute). I keep thinking of those paleontological mix-ups where they got the wrong head on the wrong body (and some other random legs from a third critter). I mean, I know it isn’t that, but… are we sure it isn’t that?

Well, Pluto’s more of a planet than pterosaurs are dinosaurs, so…

Drop bears are 100% real. I know this for sure because none of them attacked me due to the Vegemite I’d put behind my ears and the fork atop my head.

Drop are real, and they can hear you.
