FYI he already has 2 children. not sure if they should be called children since they are likely past retirement age. but he has offsprung.

Are they the same species though? I haven't heard his children narrate anything, so I cannot confirm.

his son Robert is a senior lecturer in biological anthropology.

And his brother opened a park for dinosaurs.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 weeks ago

Till now no dinosaurs have visited though.

I knew they were hiding it from us. Jurassic Park was a true crime story all along.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean the Jurassic Park could provide some visitors?

Yeah, i bet they are bored sitting in cages looking at trees all day.

That was just a front to distract us from the fact that he keeps elves in indentured servitude in his North Pole sweatshops.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago

That's pretty close. Maybe a subspecies.

Excellent noun verbing! Bravo!

I am using this verb from now on

He's 98 years old.

I know I won't be ready, but at least I won't be alone.

It saddens me that nobody (probably in all of history), has witnessed as much destruction as him.

And he's STILL fighting.

I read this in the voice of Gilbert Gottfried.

You are a true connoisseur.

David getting mad in the last panel isn't lore accurate

Damn, is the fauna roasting Sir Attenborough?

The animal kingdom doesn't acknowledge the monarchy.
