#Etymology A cartoon of a group of cavemen. One points at a diagram of a dinosaur's tail with four spikes. The caption reads, "Now, this end is called the thagomizer...after the late #ThagSimmons." "The term #thagomizer was coined by #GaryLarson in jest. "
It is time for the #thagomizer to rise! (then drop suddenly as needed)
Behold! The punctured vertebrae #Dinosaur #Fossil of an #Allosaurus caused by the #Thagomizer of a #Stegosaurus. The spikes (seen to illustrate fit) were used for defense. The thagomized allosaurus survived as evidenced by healed bone. #Science #PaleoSky 🧪 🦕 See: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
Sometimes I mourn for Thag, of #Thagomizer fame. poor fellow.

This one. Not only is it funny, paleontologists have adopted 'Thagomizer' as a term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thagomizer
The CAD for this bot keeps getting more complicated.

Okay, y'all are probably familiar with the #Thagomizer (if not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thagomizer). In last night's #dream, I was in the same lecture, except it went on - once the thagomizer was removed, you got a long metal fork called Thag's Choice Stick which enabled us to change the environment of the neighbouring region - warm the lakes, slow the rivers, things like that. I or someone else in the dream used it and damaged a major ecosystem. And then switched it back.
My head is weird.
@stevesilberman It was a sad day in cubicle farms everywhere when Gary Larson's "Far Side" cartoons were replaced with "Dilbert" on the cubicle walls. #Thagomizer #GaryLarson
I've now uploaded to thingiverse the design files and basic instructions to create your own version of this bot:

@SeriousWizard Even though the #stegosaurus was famous for its #thagomizer tail. 👀
This always makes me chuckle.

The Stegosaurus is the bestosaurus as it has backplates, and a thagomizer on the tail.

94. Stegosaurus. Just having a moment where I'm noticing the quarantine and all the ink is running into my colors. Dinosaurs for the next few days, I think.
