a tail of two species

Like me, you’ve probably gone to a farm, watched a chicken walk around, and thought, “That chicken is basically a Tyrannosaurus Rex with wings and a smaller tail.”

Well, you are right! Scientists have now created the Chicken Rex! They wanted to do some research about how the T-Rex walked, so they attached a dinosaur tail to some chickens to see what happened.

How awesome is that?! Imagine waking up as one of those chickens!

Chicken A: “Yawn! Wow. That was crazy. I had a dream that I was a dinosaur.”

Chicken B: “DUDE…I don’t want to alarm you. But that was no dream!”

Chicken A: “On my Perdue! It was real! I’m a dinosaur! Awesome!”

Chicken B: “We have to go show everybody!”

(a quick trip to the chicken coop)

Chicken A: “What’s up hens? Oh that? That’s just my dinosaur tail. No bigs. Anybody wanna ruffle some feathers?”

(starts to walk out of the coop)

Chicken A: “See you later Foghorn Leghorn! We’re gonna fly the coop!”

Foghorn: “I say, I say, I say, I say…now that’s a nice tail, boy!”

Don’t worry, they didn’t get far. They can’t drive. Or fly.

After watching the Chicken Rex for 12 weeks, scientists think they understand the T-Rex walk a little better.

If they want to do MORE research, I would be very willing to wear a dinosaur tail. Forever.

I really wish I had a tail. I have no idea why evolution got rid of it. Can you see any negatives of still having a tail? NO. Any positives? THOUSANDS.

I’m off to walk like a dinosaur.

Enjoy Everything.

ok...what was that word again????????

According to otohir...no...otorhini...wait, I'll get it...otorhinolaryngologists (GOT IT!) you should not pluck your nose hairs.

I never even knew that there were otorhiblahblahblahgists out there! I have NEVER heard that word before! And if I never heard of it, I prefer it to not exist.

So, how can I REALLY know that these otorwhatevers DO exist? Hmmm...

I will say they don't. That means I can pluck all the nose hairs I want!

But I won't. Because that will hurt.

And my sicnapologogogolist told me not to. Oh, you don't have one of those? You should get one. They're great. They live in mountains that move on clouds on the planet Portusga. If you go there, ask for Dr. Uypbosjjjjjjjslkf.

Sounds made up? Really? This from the person who claims to have a otorhinolaryngologist!

Pffft.

Pluck whatever you want. If plucking is good enough for chickens, then it's good enough for me.

Did you know that a chicken worried about its beak will go to a falpinogosnopogist? True story. No really, it is. I've been to one. I was once a chicken. With a sick beak. I had to go.

Now I'm a human and I go see REAL doctors. Because that's how I roll.

I'm off to check my beak.

Enjoy Everything.
