Wouldn't it also be subspecies Cabbagous Curriedensis?

That's the one Doc, It's from the Pewrasic period isn't it?

Wouldn't that be the Pusilanimous Period?

Pewrassic, Pusillanimous period (or comma) at least we know the reason for the mass ex-stink-tion, right?

If more people ate curried cabbage regularly, would humankind (and other forms of life) go the way of the dinosaurs and face mass ex-stink-tion?

No Cap'n, we would adapt through evolution in order to breathe methane (with chunks), wouldn't we?

Wouldn't we have to have nasal filters to keep the "chunks" out of our windpipes?

     The first great ex-stink-tion took place during the Cambrian Era. Fossil evidence shows that all life forms in the 'sea' got flattened (note the condition of the fossils) by an as yet unknown, at the time, outside agency. Now...this ex-stink-tion event (the first of its kind?) is thought to have occurred when an undersea well of noxious gas (tentatively identified as a primordial starkerbark) imploded when it reached the surface of a very young and volatile planet Earth. This implosion sent shock waves reverberating throughout the thin crust of the planet re-arranging the landmasses and giving rise to what is now known as plate tectonics.

     The force of said implosion forced great masses of land down to the ocean bottom with a great thud! All life forms in the wake of this subsistence were pounded flatter than the proverbial pancake. When they rebounded to form the land of OZ as well as other inconsequential places new life forms developed to take advantage of all that road-kill. Yum! Eventually this newly available foodsource gave rise to bigger more advanced life forms (i.e. dinos) that happilly gobbled them all up. Would that certain CEO's were there at the time to get theirs?

     At any rate...the fossil record (stone tablets as vinyl was not yet available (too many dinos still alive)) indicate that a species of Flatulensis Barkerhinosaurisiis evolved to ingest the left over methane producing Cattalosaurous OZ-Maundious thus giving rise to an atmosphere richer in oxygen (just a little bit) but just enough so that it attracted the attention of a denizen of the far (very far) Flatulous Cloud beyond the orbit of the now known tenth planet (dwarf size) Ceres. On approach to the primordial planet Earth this denizen, tentatively? indentified as Barkernemisis, turned its rearend to face the planet and cut loose with the second most powerful starkerbark in all of creation and wiped out the dinos. The sternch was so bad that it plunged the planet into another ice-age that is only now beginning to warm up...sixty five million years later!?!?!

     Was starkers there at the time? Did starkers plan the whole thing? Did starkers save up for untold eons just for the express purpose of creating a world (OZ) of his liking? And what of future generations? Will our descendants evolve with built-in gas masks? Will planet Earth shrivel up like an overripe prune? All wrinkly and stuff? I wonder...

After reading all that, I have to wonder, Uvah, do you have too much time on your hands??

And while we're on the subject of fossils, do all fossils have to belong to extinct species, or can a fossil be anyone born before 1960???

The world according to me? Is that what you're askin'? And yes...there bes a lot of time to waste at BK before the sun comes up. Besides...I wanted to answer Angus 1949 and I got carried away. Do you think anyone'll believe it? 

I do... after all, I am the creator/distributor of the most potent starkerbarks, aren't I?

Do you think that's because I have too much time on my hands, or is it a natural thing, due to the fossilisation process?

And here I thought the nature of the fossilization process was heretofore a given. Oh well...back to it then.

The Creator/Distributor of the most potent starkerbarks eh? Wellllllllll...think on this.

Even the Creator/Distributor has an ancestor out there somewhere and said ancestor must have originated or, and I think this most likely, invented purely by trial and error the process through which the 'BARK' in starkerbark was insinuated?

Then along comes the MASTER of the BARK...and the whole world shudders in it's drawers. And just to make the point stick...he he...The Master of the Starkerbark flattens Tungusta back in the day (circa 1908).

Is that good??

Is that good?  It's bloody marvellous! 

Does this "ancestor" mean that I'm off the hook for starting the whole 'bark' thing? 

Oh no no no...you are the recipient, the descendant, the inheritor and sole possessor of the new and improved genuine run of the mill one of a kind take it or leave it...STARKERBARK...TM...R...(registered trademark)...patent pending and all that good s**t.

So I'm stuck with it?

Oh Well, there's nothing stopping me sharing it around, hey!

You did that pretty well. I saw the news report of the dust storm over OZ. Methinks you've a bit of competition from the Earth Mom.

What makes you think we're not working together?  'Tis, after all, natural gas... and Ma Nature loves 'au naturale.

Tis true tis true...think of all the natural gas deposits they've discovered recently. I told you not to bury them so shallow. Now the Feds are gonna wonder...Where did all those blasted barks come from??

Did you think I buried those gas deposits?   If I had put them there, it'd be much like the 'China Syndrome', dontcha think?

Do you think he's hiding all the gas in those blimps, just waiting to gag the world?
