  I know this is a joke but all land vertebrates have roughly the same number of vertebrae. A long neck means longer vertebrae, not more.

    Most often but not always, extinct forms like stem reptiles and all sometimes did really weird shit

    Sure enough I just looked and giraffe vertebrae are 10" long. Weird.

  Looks like sauropods also lived in a world with pacman style topology.

  We also know science misinformation is a good thing, and nothing could go wrong from joking about the earth being flat.

  We know from recent excavations in Utah that there was a centipede type and a hydra type.

  It’s why we always found so many “partial” skeletons together…
