connorp Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Quote According to Stokes, a member of the public rose from the floor to ask a question. “Considering the other types of fossils found in the area, he asked “What about brachiopods?” There was no official response and no further discussion from the floor,” Stokes said, adding, “To settle this controversy before it gets out of hand, we note that brachiopods — a shelled, filter feeding organism, are far more abundant than trilobites. However, our official position is that trilobites are cooler and the real reason for visitors to come to Hamburg.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on Penn Dixie's mailing list so Dr Stokes sends me their monthly newsletter and updates so I have the right to protest in the strongest possible terms! 6 hours ago, piranha said: "However, our official position is that trilobites are cooler and the real reason for visitors to come to Hamburg.” Vincit Omnia Veritas 6 hours ago, piranha said: Vincit Omnia Veritas Brachiopodes est Verum Edited July 19, 2021 by Tidgy's Dad 1 1 Life's Good!

Tidgy's Dad Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Really should be 'brachiopoda', in Latin, I suppose, so I used a bit or artistic license. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
