civilized dinosaurs
ritually consumed their dead
left no cemeteries
for us to find

Stunned scientists this week unearthed proof of late-Cretaceous dinosaurs civilization. A mummified T. rex, wearing a XXXXXXXXXXL T-shirt bearing some sort of cartoon about rat -like mammals. "The joke wasn't very funny," says Prof. John Smith, of Namuria College, "but what do you expect from a reptile?"

The Mysterious Seeds

Hidden
Vaulted
Locked
Unearthed from the Hell Creek fossil beds
Warned against in 6 languages
(None recognizable)
Not known to Botany


So, should we?

What the hey
Plant them, see what you get

In retrospect
The last humans agreed
Not the best decision ever made

Friday, the first day after hard partying at the University. A day when most do very little work, saving their strength for the night. A time when their bodies shatter, re-forming as monsters so huge you literally cannot see them, save their eyes, as stars. Their prey? Neighbors, family, anything warm blooded. Only poikilotherms & vampires are safe. It's why the dinosaurs are gone.
