Yes I'm aware that after a full century unwashed Brontosaurus stans have finally concocted an excuse to bring it back by making it a new genus even if it doesn't erase the entire history of bunk science that invented it in the first place.

JWB's solution is for commoners to reject science and embrace homeopathy.

There's a difference between science and trivia.

Being a persnickety little bitch about factoids on the internet and being genuinely interested in and knowledgeable about science aren't mutually exclusive things.

From page 8150 to now: that's some top quality banter right there! Well done guys.

Congrats to Batlord and Marie M for meeting up in real life. It's the kind of thing that gives validation to all of us who have spent time on here, in that half-way world between being friends and complete strangers. I'm still curious for details, tbh: How did you recognise each other? What did you think of each other's choice of clothes? Was conversation slow to kick off or was it more like instantly babbling to each other? Did you agree straight off on a bar crawl or was anything else suggested? Much talk about music, or MB, or not? I've occasionally tried to imagine how it would be to meet someone from MB irl, but my insight has only got this far: weird.

Also thanks to jwb, grindy and Batlord for lesson about Brontosaurus, and for lesson about how to trade scathing insults over issues however minor. Nice!
(Like Marie, the brontosaurus factoid was completely new to me: can't wait to use it myself to show everyone what a well-informed guy I am.)

My day: it's a national holiday and I've recently recovered from covid, so my day starts with a touch of energy and optimism that's been missing for a week or two.

Glad you're past the covid, Lisna.

Marie, out of curiousity, was Batlord naked when you met him?

I'm printing it out on a t shirt, I'm making it my email signature, I'm dropping it in the DMs of every girl who dumped me, including making new accounts for those who blocked me on social media. Now I'll get the respect that has hitherto eluded me. Hell, I'm gonna get it tattooed on my ass and face.

I'd hold back on the tattoos for the moment if I were you; you may end up making the same mistake as jwb:

Thanks, rubber soul. I felt pretty awful for a week, but at least I never had any beathing problems. Mainly, rest and soup saw me through.
