The entire city is burning You can see the flames, like the inside of a mad jukebox Lost boys stalk the streets with those jungle markings on their chests Barbarians prowl in shadows, their heads rocking with rodents Motorcycles reproduce in nocturnal alleys groaning with greasy pleasure And they've blown up the YWCA like a giant balloon And sent it out to sea full of screaming, lovely, lonely girls

sure, op. cool. whatever in other news has anyone heard of dimetrodon? it's an ancient synapsid - a proto-mammal rather than just being some sort of lizard - that they reckon had a big dorsal fan for sexual display

if I had just looked at that I'd've thought, ok that's a dinosaur, but it's not, it's a sexual proto-mammal and since you explained that I'm like "wow"

the fact that the spikes are connected to the vertebrae is kinda crazy. the spine is so important, neurologically speaking, and they have these big protuberances hanging off of them. it seems like something hitting the sail would risk damage to the spine

Did middle aged dimetrodons ever have trouble getting their dorsal fin up?

Dimetrodons actually pupated underground for 17 years in larval form munching on nutritious plant roots, safe from harm. After 17 years, they emerge enmasse, and large swathes die quickly to predation, but for the "lucky" survivors, they live a couple weeks, long enough for a molt, mate, lay eggs, and die. The sail ultimately helps ensure they attract a mate, which is much more important to the survival of their species.

I could swear there's another dimetrodon thread around here somewhere. Which is good because they're cool and it's cool to talk about them.
