I can't tell what's funnier, the listing, or the fact that people are actually bidding on it

While on my daily routine of patroling the "Dinosaur Collectables" section of eBay UK, today I stumbled upon two mammals offered up, live ones:

Wow, I didn't know there's a publicised human trafficking operation in Basildon, or that there's one that specialises in 'annoying people'    Guess I know where to send most of my classmates to now

My life in a nutshell: now lizerd I brought you a marshmallow now remember to..
Me: *chews and swallows* what marshmallow?

Not dinosaur related, but I hope you can all get a kick out of this abysmal greyhound drawing that I did

I was practising drawing a greyhound performing a submissive grin (for an illustration in an assignment), this first draft told me that I had a long way to go!




I kept the mouth and redraw the rest of the head for a better little illustration that I could use

can't help but imagine that in the original Zulu intonation...

Oh yeah, in case anyone wants to print a figure of Benedict Cumberbatch with a toy rex body... head on over to artist "Just Because Why Not's" Shapeways store:

In all seriousness, I quite often wonder if there were plants in the Mesozoic with drug-like properties.


Anyways, here's my contribution to this thread today. Credits to Fresh Paleomemes:

In all seriousness, I quite often wonder if there were plants in the Mesozoic with drug-like properties.

In all likelihood, yes. What we think of as drug-like properties are usually chemicals the plant has evolved in order to defend itself against herbivory. Given that the evolutionary pressures were almost certainly the same back then, I'd be surprised if there weren't poisonous and narcotic plants. Also, eating old, fermented fruit gets modern birds 'drunk', so I imagine the same would be true for herbivorous dinosaurs if they ate enough of it. The very idea of tiddly plant-eating dinosaurs stumbling through the Cretaceous is actually pretty hilarious.

First off, I had meant to say 'narcotic' when I said 'drug like', so thanks for reminding me that word exists.

Anyways, interesting insights. I already knew about birds getting drunk from fermented fruit, but not really about the evolutionary pressures behind narcotic plants. Also, I fully agree the prospect of drunk diplodocids or stoned stegosaurs is hilarious - that's why I think about it so often! 

On a final note, I wonder if any paleoartist has ever thought about this, because if not, it would be really good future material to work with
