Things may be different in the future ("Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?": name the movie and character) in which Firefly is based. Based on the undoubted 500+ years of continuing success with the Jurassic Park franchise, other dinosaurs may replace the Original Trinity, such as the Velociraptor, Deinonychus or Ozzy Osbourne...

Doc Brown. Back to the Future.

Oops. I seem to have been a bit late with my post. Must have overshot the time period when I did my slingshot around the sun.

God, I've been away a while! Damn thesis! Anyway, it's finished now and I am now a Master! Or am I THE Master? Mwa hah hah haaaah (evil laugh!!!).

I have to admit, I am a little confused by the Jessica Simpson ID! I googled the name and came up with a swimwear model! Am I a swimwear model? If I am, I pity the poor guy who has to take my picture, as I am a 38yr old male with a receding hairline! And I can assure you, that such a figure does not look good in a women's swimsuit!

What were you trying to say, Zoid? I'm afraid I've never heard of her, she must be famous in America, I'm assuming!

As for Dinosaurs...omigod....looks like the meteor didn't kill em after all:

So if the meteor missed!

Are the dinosaurs still here?

And if so, why can't we see them?

Good luck, TheGerg! I can't believe it's been half a year since I defended my Master's Thesis. Wow.

By the way, I don't recall if I saw a hawk, but I'm nigh positive I remember hearing the cry of a red-tailed hawk in one scene.

Yes, Jessica Simpson is 'famous' in the US. She's a musical performer and neophyte actress ("The Dukes of Hazzard"). But mostly, she's somewhat infamous for having 'a blonde moment' during an interview, revealing her belief that bison have wings, and that this is where (food item) "Buffalo Wings" come from. Mine was a reference to a previous post of yours, in which you said,

Quote:
My idea is cows that are genetically bred with a homing instinct. They also possess wings!...

Don't worry. Nobody else on the thread got the reference/thought it was funny, either...

Explanatorily,

I can sleep better at night knowing that

I shall go and see the Dukes of Hazzard for my sins!

TheGerg:

I can't speak for Ms. Simpson's acting ability, or for the theatrical quality of "DoH" (I have my serious reservations on both counts). But I will say Jessica is (ulp!) pretty spectacular to gaze upon, especially in those 'Daisy Dukes'...

I like to think of it as a marvelous sense of economy in costume design.

Het'rosecksh'ly,
