Woke up and chose violence this morning, so here goes:

Akshully, the Jurassic Park creatures are not reptiles for a number of reasons.

1. Reptile is paraphyletic and arbitrarily groups species regardless of their lineage.

2. T. Rex was likely warmblooded as its descendants are.

3. The creatures are not entirely dinosaurs. They’re hybrids of dinosaurs, and modern animals that the Jurassic Park scientists believed were most similar genetically.

Anyway, thanks for commenting, and I hope I’ve conveyed an appreciative and respectful tone. I sincerely just like sharing, learning, and discussing things.

Also, fight me.

Awww. Cute little friend just needs some belly rubs.

This does explain the rise of drag llamas.

Maybe. Further study is definitely needed.

Yeah, as long as it’s bloodborn.

I think vampirism being a bloodborn pathogen is the consensus.

“Do my job for me?”

“No.”

I think you’d have to at least have an open wound and come into contact with fresh blood since it’s a bloodborn pathogen.

Yeah, I think that’s how reservoirs work, but I’m not a public health expert.

It’s important to have a scarier, if less dangerous, boogie man when one endeavors to do terrible things to otherwise rational people.

Because we didn’t know what was going on. Reagan paved the way for Trump, and it goes back even further. This has been several decades in the making. Sorry if I’m preaching to the choir here. Thanks for entertaining my rant.

That’s a really good point. It’s just a super purge.

Yeah, rewarding blind loyalty above competence is not a good long-term strategy.

They wouldn’t directly. They’d have to be bitten by something else that acquires vampirism from them and transfers it to another host, like malaria.

Hank Scorpio : Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?

Homer : Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.

Hank Scorpio : Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn’t I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there’s four places. There’s the Hammock Hut, that’s on third.

Homer : Uh-huh.

Hank Scorpio : There’s Hammocks-R-Us, that’s on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There.

Homer : Mm-Hmm.

Hank Scorpio : That’s on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot… Matter of fact, they’re all in the same complex; it’s the hammock complex on third.

Homer : Oh, the hammock district!

Hank Scorpio : That’s right.

Fair enough. I still feel like vampire bats might be a threat. Also, we don’t know what reservoirs harbor vampirism. Perhaps sparrows are carriers.

I would watch that.
