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?

.

Games to play with your mouth breathing friends.

.

We all have them. That special group of friends you’ve known for years but don’t like to advertise. You can’t invite them out to dinner with your crew, and you won’t bring them to the cocktail party at work. But thanks to me? You could ask them to your house to play a game right up their alley.

.

.

So they’re not the brightest bulbs in the pack?

.

.

No problem.

.

.

This is a game that won’t embarrass the less than erudite among us.

.

.

And they get to hit people with a club!

You know they’re going to love it.

.

.

Neanderthals.

Admit it, you know a few.
