03 Jul 09 - 08:41 PM (#2671128) Subject: RE: BS: Australian Dino Nicknamed for Banjo P. From: Skivee Scientists believe that four and five string evolved from the earlier three string banjo that roamed Gondwana long ago. They survived by eating simple folk ballads and work songs. It is unclear whether the long-neck Seegersaurus is related, or an example of unfortunate parallel evolution. |

So back to "Banjo": Australovenator wintonensis came through the door - Fie, man, fie! Australovenator wintonensis came through the door - Who's the fool now? Australovenator wintonensis came through the door, Looking for a young and tender brontosaur, Thou has well drunken and who's the fool now? Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Obvious repeats omitted to save typing: Witonotitan wattsi once stopped beside a billabong joined by Diamantinasaurus matildae, and they slid and got stuck and they died there in that billabong It seems like a result of evolution to me then came Australovenator wintonensis looking for an easy meal He saw them in muck and leap in with glee and he slid and got stuck and he died there in that billabong It seems like a result of evolution to me Next came a scientist encumbered with the latest gear he bent o'er a fossil in a pile of debris and he slid and got stuck and he died there in that billabong It seems like a result of evolution to me In the distant future the progeny of ticks and bugs will look into some gooey swamp and what will they see? The fossilized remains of scientists and motorcars The end of evolution for all humanity Okay...not my best work. I can't take the pressure, man. |

08 Jul 09 - 09:20 AM (#2674678) Subject: RE: BS: Australian Dino Nicknamed for Banjo P. From: GUEST,leeneia Thanks for the link, Skivee. It's interesting. I'm intrigued by the word 'Australovenator.' Obviously it means 'thing one makes love with in Australia.' Is that where the banjo, the most amiably charming of instruments, comes in? |

08 Jul 09 - 05:17 PM (#2675112) Subject: RE: BS: Australian Dino Nicknamed for Banjo P. From: Skivee I suppose that it could also be "the thing that makes love in the southern regions". I'll leave the ruder interpretation of this remark to others. |
