“...He was also most impressed with Henry VIII’s armor...”

Except for catering to Henry’s oversized....ego..., I don’t think he could fit his royal rotundity into that tin suit.

Yes, the er ... umm ... interesting bit of old Henry’s suit of armor is generally thought to be catering to his oversized ego. But imagine being a six-year-old American boy seeing it after being bored by shuffling past the Crown Jewels your mother and big sister were oohing and aahing over.

Gotta love little boys!

Can’t help wondering what Trump’s suit of armor would look like. (giggle)

Good raise it up, train it and put in on a circus. Would you pay to see it perform? You bet—Or take it Las Vegas or Branson—to have it do tricks. Any zoo would love such an attraction—a real money maker.

Read my other post. I’m already lining up the funding for this, a tassie tiger, and a sabre toothed cat.

I’ll have an elephant with hair glued to it, a tiger with dentures and a dog with zebra stipes. I’ll have the best circus since Barnum and I’ll feed trannies to the animals.

A more prescient TV episode I’ve never seen.

Maybe Kolchak.

You can be there already are high-fence game preserves in Texas where they’re champing at the bit for the chance to sell safaris to kill a woolly mammoth.

“The Archaeologist” is a clickbait spam site, and the poster appears to a retread fake freeper.

A few, but most had already died off, like the bigger Colombian. There are always a few of any species that initially survives a catastrophic event, but eventually succumb.

That was what got the dinosaurs in the end. Not enough oxygen to support their high oxygen adapted bodies.

I doubt that the baby’s tusks will be sufficient for bag-hanging until he’s at least a dozen years old.

You are probably right. But it’s a fun little fantasy.
