Happy feel-good

After a week where not one, not two but THREE things have had happy-sad endings -- Reading the Hunger Games trilogy, Episode 5, Season 7 of Doctor Who, and the season finale of the Dollhouse written/directed by Will Wheaton, I have been in need of some happy feelgood. Arugments are unpleasant, and ontop of -that- trio of a bomb shell I haven't been handling it very well. Thus! We have some happy feel-good that I wish to share with the pineapple and fruit bowl that actually check in on this.




Pre-first, I have discovered how to put breaks in so you can see more with less scrolling whoo! And and and! There are like and facebook and all those other linking buttons somewhere down the bottom :D


First; Ducks. Ducks ducks ducks! Whee!



Second, do you have a spare 10k just lying around to splurge on the most awesome Halloween costume ever?

Oh my gah. So awesome. Totally need an event or something organised by the rich people who can afford this. Dinosaurs on the rampage! Run for your liiiiiiiives aaaaah! With different dinosaurs and the herbivores and a whole day where people just randomly encounter these gigantic beasts and all oh mah gah! Eeee.

Side note; We are developing more in depth theories about dinosaurs (according to various BBC documentaries I've seen), for those of oblivion that haven't known or noticed, which, to be fair, does happen. My head is quite happily in the sand about politics and governmental things and you know, current affairs because it's rather boring to me.

Dinosaurs -- especially in the colder climates -- were feathered. Velociraptors or utahraptors would have been rather heavily feathered, there is also the emerging theories that dinosaurs (across board) would have probably had rather evolved and in depth mothering/child rearing instincts and concepts. They were around for 250 million years. You figure these sorts of things out EVENTUALLY. It's almost accepted as canon and guranteed factual that T-Rex especially protected the eggs and young for however long. There are newer theories emerging that maybe they hunted in familial packs, the mother and father chased down the prey for the long haul, and the juveniles cut off the cornering and the sharp turns. Why would it be limited to just this one type of dinosaur, when the herbivores are accepted to wander around in herds, why not the predators too? It makes a lot of sense to me, at least.

Oh oh! And they have also found SOFT TISSUE. Of a dinosaur! T-Rex actually, they found soft, viable tissue inside a fossilised bone in a cliff-face and yes. They can pull dna from it. Yes. They have. I am so excited! -- Sure. Jurassic park, if they -can- clone it, -should- they? What is the scientific purpose of cloning the dinosaurs?

Other option, people experimenting with chicken embryo's to encourage them to have more vertebrate in their tailbones in the early stages of developement, and hoping, in a long time in the future (a good couple years) of being able to have a chicken with dinosaur-like qualities, long tail, arms with fingers and maybe teeth. This will still be a chicken, but it will have dinosaur qualities, as birds -are- the closest living relatives to the dinosaurs.

Science is so interesting! Especially when science is stepping close to science-fiction. The future is now!

Where's my flying car!?
