I thought it looked like a Brontosaur... until I realized I was looking at the wrong end!

LOL. . .on the Brontosaurus. . .I see it as well. . .

Of course, this 'oops factor', could explain his extinction - brain in wrong end, kind of thing.

Does make me wonder why we still have Liberals. . .and how much longer we might have to wait for Nature's correction. . .

Actually, the funny thing is that Brontosaurs are said to have had brains in their ass! Seriously. There was what is more properly called a "ganglial mass" of neurons near the Brontosaurs' tookus. A lot of dinosaur stuff since I read about that has turned out to be silly misunderstandings, so I may be quoting ridiulously out-of-date stuff, but the though was that it serves as a sort of secondary brainstem, because the hind quarters were so far from the skull, and neural electrochemical transmission is actually very slow.
