So bristling with anticipation of heresy! So righteous! Righteous me a Grant! Of course the hippo is the missing link, it just makes so much sense.

I think that pretty little artist's rendering (which has the horse in the wrong "swoop" of evolution, btw) ought to be recreated in stained glass and mounted on an altar to Hopeless Tenure Track and Our Lady of Perpetual Unemployability.

All very amusing...
