Dinosaurs

Since the beginning of time, everybody has been fascinated with dinosaurs. There are no more dinosaurs currently alive, but hundreds of dollars have been spent digging up their old bones. Those bones are now featured prominently at museums, where children are frequently warned not to touch them ("or else"). No one can touch the dinosaur bones. They are too important, as were dinosaurs.

Okay now I will tell you everything there is to know about dinosaurs.

First of all there were two varieties, the carnivore and the herbivore. The herbivores only ate plants for some reason. The carnivores had more sense and frequently enjoyed the delicious meat of other dinosaurs and animals. Not people though, as they did not exist yet. Adam and Eve came later, followed eventually by Jesus. Or else apes evolved into humans. No one is certain, but let's not get into that right now.

Everyone wants to know what killed off the dinosaurs. Some people think a giant asteroid was responsible. Others think that the carnivores got super hungry and ate too many of the other dinosaurs. My theory is that there were sick dinosaurs on the planet and they spread too much disease around and eventually they all had it. Can't cure a sick dinosaur, there was no vet back then.

I bet a herbivore killed a carnivore in a fight. At least once, like in some kind of fluke occurrence. If so I hope some other herbivores were around to see it.

a lot of people insist that homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom. Does that mean there were gay DINOSAURS? Kind of tough to picture, but I guess so.

Also, like certain ethnic groups, most dinosaurs have really long hard-to-spell names. How come? There was no reason for scientists to make spelling dinosaurs difficult. In fact we should re-name them. People could pay money to have a kind of dinosaur named after them, like they do with stars. Then all the money goes to charity and/or the economy. Maybe stop short of re-naming the really FAMOUS dinosaurs like the T-Rex and Brontosaurus because people are already too used to those names and would just keep using them anyway.
