Probably food in the old days wasn't particularly palatable. Who is to say entire tremendously huge geological layers created 100 million years ago aren't 90% dinosaur vomit? Or worse. Manganese nodules on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Hmm.

Actually, I think it was from swallowing the DNC party-line whole...

"We have to settle for petrified dino droppings!"

I have some petrified dino droppings. I thought that I had something. Now, I have to find petrified dino vomit? There is no end to keeping up with the Joneses.

""If it's not in the Bible, it didn't happen." "

That is an interesting catch-phrase. How about explaining it's significance to us.

"Giganotosaurus Anorexus"

I'm not exactly an expert in Latin but doesn't that roughly translate as Gigantic-Lizard Anorexic? Doesn't look anorexic to me :)

I am, strangely, unsurprised to learn that The Vomiting Dinosaurs actually IS a great name for a band.
