Why isn't there a plaque or a memorial for Thag? Poor guy, he clearly didn't see the tail until it was too late. Tragic. ? ?

Whoop of Gorillas and Flange of Baboons are terms used in scientific papers, both are from this Rowan Atkinson sketch https://dai.ly/x2po1p2

Post it again tomorrow, but with less pixels and more explaining the joke. It'll be even funnier!

Do we have to post this every day?

If there's one thing boomers love more than Far Side it's repeating Far Side jokes. I'm afraid the answer is yes.

Also Sonic Hedgehog is the name of a protein involved in fetal development and it's inhibitor protein is called Robotnikinin.

It's because archaeologists at the time were all huge nerds who read The Far Side religiously (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Holzter
Not to be that guy but archeologists do not study dinosaurs, that would be Paleontologist, much like what I am studying to be.
thekeyofe
Sorry, you're right.
Holzter
It's all good. One of the major irritants for either profession is being confused for the other. Some archaeo classes start the semester 1/?
Holzter
Saying "This is not a dinosaur class. If you are here to learn about dinosaurs then you are free to leave." And some students do leave.
