Reminder of the great Far Side cartoon.
A caveman professor is pointing to the spiky ball end of a Stegosaurus tail and saying to the caveman class, And this is the Thagomizer, named after the late Thag, who discovered it.

But we're absolutely certain that cow farts and SUVs are warming the globe.

I always laugh when I hear descriptions of plant-eating dinosaurs as “peaceful.”

This is what you get with the elite schools!? What dunder head never learned that nature enables these things for a purpose. Oh wait—these were for attracting the opposite sex.
I strongly approve of science, but real science is never settled. Years ago, I used the stegosaurus tail as an example to teach my kids that science can be wrong and that they should consider the facts for themselves. It’s nice to be proven right sooner instead of later.
