talk about obscure

Via this esoteric and fascinating site if you are into fossils:

www.paleos.com

The authors have a sense of humour

I was led to this:

http://www.palaeos.com/Vertebrates/Units/3...ae/360.000.html (http://www.palaeos.com/Vertebrates/Units/360Galloanserae/360.000.html)

and then this reference to road runners:

and then a link to the illustrated catalogue of ACME products

Easter is on its way so be careful:

as the character Corporal Agarn often said on that ancient TV show F-Troop "what about the Easter Bunny? :? " He was a true believer https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>"G" stands for Gnu, whose weapons of Defense
Are long, sharp, curling Horns, and Common-sense.
To these he adds a Name so short and strong
That even Hardy Boers pronounce it wrong.
How often on a bright Autumnal day
The Pious people of Pretoria say,
"Come, let us hunt the --" Then no more is heard
But Sounds of Strong Men struggling with a word.
Meanwhile, the distant Gnu with grateful eyes
Observes his opportunity, and flies.
Moral:
Child, if you have a rummy kind of name,
Remember to be thankful for the same.
