TIDBITS

­

1) Life did a lot of experimenting early on, particularly during the Age of Dinosaurs.

­

2) One of the more exciting species from that time was the Bioluminescent Lighter Than Air pteroturtles. Here, evolution provided the pteroturtles with a rather nifty way to escape nasty huge sea creatures. When attacked, the pteroturtle would use its lighter than air quality to rocket to the surface and away from the jaws of a large dinofish. Unfortunately, being lighter than air meant being lighter than air and so, the pteroturtles would ascend their way out of the atmosphere. On the plus side, however, if a whole lot of ptero-turtles rocketed their way up and out of the sky at the same time, their bioluminescent streaks would outdo anything Northern Lights could ever do. It remains to add, that the species eggs were also lighter than air. This meant the p-turtles eggs zip to outer space in their only hour of life. This species went extinct rather quickly.

3) Another evolutionary dead end was the Creamteethosaurus. The Creamteethosaurus resembled the T-rex in almost every aspect except that it possessed teeth rather resembling a Twinkie. Sure Twinkies taste wonderful, but there not much use when use when you want to rip off a chunk of Apatosaurus butt. One bite and all the cream in your teeth ooze out. Now you have no teeth. So, you can’t eat any meat. You can’t really any vegetation either. Sure you could have survived on tofu and smoothies, but those goodies wouldn’t appear on the scene for millions upon millions of years. The Creamteethosaurus also died out quickly.

4) Early cavemen yearned for cream filled treats. Indeed, the Aubergine Cave paintings prove this. However, we have Twinkies. We can even air fry them. Truly, we live in a golden age.
