It’s Friday afternoon, so here’s an excuse to look like you’re thinking hard.
This picture has been all over the science news -“for reasons best explained by GrrlScientist”:http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2010/01/orange_stripey_dinosaurs_fossi.php

But it needs a better caption than anyone else has come up with. Your task, folks, is to provide that caption. And to make it look like you’re working hard whilst doing it.

“The rapture?! Those paleontologist dudes will never guess that as the reason the dinosaurs died out!”
Somehow that annoying song with the screechy “Eeeeeeeevrrrrrrybodeeeee dance now!!!!!!!!” lyrics is running through my head.
That wasn’t a caption suggestion, just a fact.
My caption has no words, but here’s a video:
PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING
Do NOT press play on the video Eva embedded. You do not want your neurons to start a revolution. Seriously, it’s not worth it – just look at Richard.
Thank you, Eva.
Captions:
“Thank you, Kodachrome, for making this discovery possible.”
“It takes two to tango, y’know.”
“Giant seedpod? What giant seedpod?”
“You put your left claw in, you put your left claw out”
Scientists uncover new dinosaur mystery: just why were shadow and lighting levels so screwed up in the Cretaceous?
I was going to go with
“no, no, you put your left claw out”,
but its a bit close to Cath’s.
I was thinking of “if we stand like this for long enough, we can confuse the hell out of those paleontologists”.
