    THOSE DINOSAURS?! You mean the birds that went extinct in the 17th and 20th centuries?!

    Edit: this comment annoyed me so much that I went and did research. Apparently, dinosaur no longer means reptiles that went extinct 66 million years ago. Not only are the feathery, hollow-boned bitches known as avian theropods considered dinosaurs, but everything that evolved from them also apparently gets to be called a dinosaur. Fuck that. It’s like Pluto all over again. Goddamn it.

    Edit 2: You know what? Fuck that. Dinosaur means terrible lizard. If it’s not a lizard, it shouldn’t be a dinosaur. And don’t give me that shit about “it has lizard hips.” I have child-bearing hips, and it doesn’t make me a mother. Fuck you. I want to fight a paleontologist.

    Edit 3: Today is my birthday, and this ruined it. We’re enemies now.
