"you know you have a lot of prehistoric figures if you have at least twenty items per page of the prehistoric/dinosaur section on ebay." - anon.

Who would have thought that the structure of the inner ear would provide clues to snakes losing their legs.  Interesting.

That's the thing about the inner ear: It is connected to locomotion.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

The inner ear controls balance, study the ear and you can know the locomotive patterns.
