@funkula in history books 100 years from now: the decline of the western image of italy's richness began with the dawning realization that every prominent italian had shit themselves to death
Remembering when I was a kid and a friend was very earnestly telling me that he had dreamed about a pog (this was the year that pogs were big) that had a design of three crosses on a hill, with the sun rising behind them, and when he grew up he was going to make that pog. Wonder if he ever did
@funkula well I'm guessing he didn't pursue that dream then, though it would be 10x funnier if he did. 'yeah someone did it already but it's my fate so I guess I'll do it anyway'
While loading tonight's #monsterdon on Tubi I noticed there was an mst3k of it as well (or possibly the 1936 version, but I think this one is more likely). Need to check that out later in the week
@moira I feel like it could almost rise to the level of space mutiny, though sadly without the services of Punch Sideiron/Slab Bulkhead/Thick McRunfast
If I were building a website to schedule an oil change I would simply not include appointment times so close to closing that the shop won't take you. It would be easy for me.
@funkula on of my clients is a casino resort whose various restaurants and things have constantly changing unpredictable hours, to the point that signage on property says like "5pm to close" and "close" is "whenever we close."
Cotylorhyncus was a synapsid from the Permian era, a tetrapod ancestral to mammals. They look somewhat like dinosaurs but are actually not related (the other major clade at the time were the sauropsids, which gave rise to birds and reptiles). He is notable for his head too small for he got damn body.
Why his head too small for he got damn body?
It seems likely that the enormous barrel shaped torso was needed to house voluminous intestines. This would be a crude solution to the need to eat large quantities of low quality forage and then ferment it to get usable nutrients, the same way that ruminants do today with their four chambered stomachs.
Why is today International Cotylorhyncus Day?
Two years ago, I discovered this delightful dumbass and posted about him. Completely coincidentally, so did @checkervest. We decided this guy deserves his own holiday, and thus it began.
Might start responding to photos of happy families at dinner with "just like Texas Chainsaw Massacre!" and when they get mad apologize for assuming they like movies
