    I know this is a joke but all land vertebrates have roughly the same number of vertebrae. A long neck means longer vertebrae, not more.

    We know from recent excavations in Utah that there was a centipede type and a hydra type.

    It’s why we always found so many “partial” skeletons together…

    We also know science misinformation is a good thing, and nothing could go wrong from joking about the earth being flat.
