Let’s play.

.

Because it beats working, that’s why.

.

.

I recently read this book.

.

.

It was a little too Jurassic Park adjacent for me, but the scientific basis for the novel is valid and quite terrifying.

The Colossal Biosciences https://colossal.com/ company really is five years away from de-extincting a wooly mammoth and the ethical can of worms that opens will be epic. When that process is nailed down? It would theoretically be possible to resurrect Neanderthals as well. A race of hominid that was taller and stronger than us, with a larger brain, better hearing, better sight, an inability to feel empathy and a propensity for violence. Forget the AI robots destroying us, the Neanderthals will do it for then.

On that cheerful note, my last Google search was for the Indricotherium.

.

.

A giant hornless rhino that lived in the Eocene Epoch, 56 to 33 million years ago.

.

.

He weighed 15 to 20 tons and stood 24 foot tall.

Yes, once a dinosaur geek, always a dinosaur geek.

So what’s the last thing you were searching for?

.

News you can’t use.

.

Someday… someone will be able to use it and I’ll have to stop posting these.

But it won’t be today.

I don’t pay extra for Apple news so I couldn’t read this article. Which is a shame because it sounds like a grand idea.

Not.

.

.

I do love a bargain.

.

.

$100 to $10 million? That was a good investment…

.

.

I didn’t know this existed, but I also didn’t explore the topic further.

.

.

I haven’t been to a Jack in the Box since I was a child, but I don’t remember their fries being that good.

.

.

My question to this type of thing is always.. why?

Just because they can isn’t a good enough reason .

.

News you can’t use.

.

Because the headlines just keep on coming.

.

.

Great. Like we don’t have enough earth born pathogens…

.

.

If there’s a better name for a female aardvark than Princess Dirt Pig, I don’t know what it is.

.

.

I adore this idea!

Though it may mean longer waits for the bathroom at dinner parties.

.

.

I have to disagree with this one. My MIL aged at a normal rate…

.

.

Holy crap, I hope so! In their case, total annihilation can’t come soon enough.

No pun intended.

.

Never let it be said….

 

We have boring neighbors.

Looking out the window last week I saw this:

Thinking I was sober…

I found another window to be sure.

Okay, still there.

Yes, there really was a T Rex walking up our neighbor’s driveway.

Why?

Maybe he was on his way to the store….

Maybe he was just out strolling with a friend.

Although what the hell that neon green thing was supposed to be has yet to be determined.

Never a dull moment as Casa River.
