Dinosaur Sex
Okay, this is NOT a joke about sex with my husband. Although it could have been.
So I was reading a Scientific American at the Doctor’s office the other day. I don’t know why they had that magazine there. It doesn’t make any sense to me. Don’t ask what kind of doctor, either. I don’t want to talk about my hot flashes.
Anyways, there was this article about some scientist who had been staring at brontosaur bones and started wondering how things that big managed to have sex.
I stopped reading there. I mean, my eyes looked at more of the article, but I didn’t retain anything. I was too busy imagining two giant beasts stacking up like elephants. Then I realized I only kind of knew what that looked like.
I must have seen a picture somewhere, or I doubt I could have been so sure of the mental image I got, but as far as actual motion goes, I have no idea.
It’s kind of hard to picture that thrusting motion, isn’t it? Or is that just me? I keep imagining the male elephant’s butt squeezed tight, his legs straight out, his trunk straight up in the air trumpeting in triumph.
I kind of get it.
And I can kind of extrapolate that out to a brontosaur (which I have now been corrected to be a brachiosaur. whatever.). But I stall at the the T-Rex.
What did they do with their tails? I mean those are big and in the way. And I know they didn’t just lay down and do it. With those stubby little arms, there would be no getting back up.
I figure the female had to go find a nice big tree or rock to put one leg up on.
I wish I would have read the rest of the article. Maybe there were answers there.
Am I weird for thinking about this too much?
No. The weirdo who wrote that dinosaur/ porn bestiality book is weird. I mean, that’s weird. At least I assume it is. I guess it would only be fair of me to keep an open mind and read it, just to be sure.
Maybe they know how the dinosaurs did it.
(Yes, that’s a real damn book! Look up dinosaur erotica Amazon. No I won’t post the link for you. It gives me the creeps. I mean really? The thought of doing a lizard man is bad enough, but a lizard? Or a Dinosaur? GAH!)
Okay. I know the chicken doesn’t really fit what I was talking about, but if you look at the gleam in the T-Rex’s eye and the fear in the chicken’s…
