Why Things Are The Way They Are, Chapter 889

Misquoting from Freakonomics by Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner :

"For God's sake, it 's just a blog. It doesn't have to have a Unified Theory."

It can be about dinosaurs- this T.Rex is named Sue and lives in Chicago:

Well, not 'lives' exactly...

It can be about food. Like Sue , the bird pictured below left it's bones in Chicago.

As I ate I kept thinking about how the modern chicken is widely thought to be a descendent of the T. Rex. Yum!

Thank Godzilla for evolution.
I've seen the Flintstones.
I know what a brontosaurus rib can do to a car.

Bye!

I was about to make a crack about the folly of citing The Flintstones for scientific evidence, but then I remembered that more than half of us in the U.S. apparently claim the creation story in Genesis is literally true. So sure, prehistoric people kept immature sauropods as pets and used pteradons as aerials for their TVs. Why not?

Sling- them whats?

LA- I think that Moonie Times article is inaccurate-
"The poll, with a margin of error of 3 percentage points, was conducted Feb. 6 to 10 among 1,011 adults. "

Most likely it was done by telephone and reflects only the views of adults who have the time and willingness to answer phone polls: the elderly, the infirm, shut-ins, recluses, the booze-before-breakfast crowd,bloggers etc... 1,011 is too small a sample to mean anything at all anyway. Most media polls are just as bad as this- according to Gallup, 90% of polls suck.

C- I dunno why. I can't even seem to be uptight about my own blog anymore.
