   I mean, I like digging into pre-history when designing monsters, but seriously. Hallucigenia is a a 5cm (2inch) worm with legs and spikes. If reality could just fuck off and stop being more creative than me, that would be great.

     @Infoseepage @golgaloth It was funny because her partner and the other couple were fascinated, but mute, as we were more or less imparting a class on history of Life of Earth just on the spot.

     @Infoseepage @golgaloth I can't attest as to his academic record, but that there is the sign of a real biological scientist: we get hyperfixated on fascinating stuff of life. Years ago, I had two couples of friends for lunch for my birthday (usually I get about a dozen people, but that phase of the pandemic, you know), and one of them is a professor at the uni. We got bouncing each other stuff about Evolution, Genetics and Natural HIstory.

     @Infoseepage @golgaloth I like Anomalocaris. It was huge for its time.
