Dino Metrics

Dinosaurs grew larger the longer they lived, so you could judge the age of a dinosaur by its size.

Here’s a handy chart to show you, using metric/SI prefixes, how to gauge the relative size of a certain flying dinosaur.

But that drawing is missing an important part of the pterodactyl. So here’s another version:

drawing showing pdactyl, pmegadactyl, pgigadactyl, and pteradactyl instead of pterodactyl

I’m sure you won’t forget your prefixes now.

I would have kept going, but there wasn’t room on the image for petadactyl. Plus, the version with the silent P would have been ppetadactyl, which is just silly.

Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, Because the rod that struck you is broken; For from the serpent’s root a viper will come out, And its fruit will be a flying serpent.

Isaiah 14:29

Orthopedic Center

comic about joint chiefs of staff running an orthopedic medical center with the secretaries of the army and leggy

Transcript:
Welcome to the Military Orthopedic Surgery Center
Thanks…I’m here for the tour.

Well, we are glad you are interested in our facility.
Our center is run by two of the most respected surgeons in the area.

They are co-CEOs, and they handle elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles.
We refer to them as our joint chiefs of staff.

And over here are the receptionists.
We split the administrative duties between them

How do I know which one to see?
It depends on which branch.

This is the secretary of the army
And this is the secretary of the leggy.

The End

then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let it be broken off at the joint.

Job 31:22

Barbed Wire

No explanation necessary:

Barbra Streisand and Barbara Walter take the place of sharp barbs on strings of barbed wire

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.

Hosea 2:6

Super Attitude

In case you missed this exchange after the halftime show of the Super Bowl, I have noted what Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels had to say about it. It seems they missed the first part of the show.

Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels call Super Bowl XLVI and discuss the halftime show

Transcript:
Cris: Who was that warm-up act for the Super Bowl halftime show?
Al: I don’t know, but he had a bad attitude
Cris: That’s true – he was being such a pre-Madonna!

Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.

Ezekiel 16:50

On Bola

Today, I will be demonstrating how to pluralize the word bola:

image showing bola, pair o' bola, and parabola

Now you’ll be tempted to switch the emphasized syllable the next time you see the word parabola. Remember, it’s paraBOla, not paRAbola.

You’re welcome.

Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.

Proverbs 26:8

Sequel to Mortal Kombat

The original Mortal Kombat was a video game.

Then in 1995 they made a movie out of it.

Rumor has it that in 2013 they will release a remake of the movie.

Here’s how the Mortal Kombat logo would look if it were re-done out of Australia.

Mortal Wombat could be interesting, if they could get the little fur-balls to look fierce.

On a slightly-related note: anyone else think that the word “marsupial” is best read in a Larry the Cucumber voice?

You’re welcome.

Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

Psalm 146:3

Banana Kin

Any introduction I give would be useless or worse, so no introduction here.

comic about Bananakin Skywalker, a Darth Vader reference using bananas

Transcript:
Young Bananakin Skywalker started his Jedi training without any experience at all – he was quite green.

As he progressed in his training, his skill increased and he matured noticeably.

Unfortunately, he matured too much and went bad.
He went dark side.
And dark front and middle too.

But Bananakin, in his ripe old age, sacrificed himself for others.
Then he split.

The End

to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.

Acts 26:18
