#460: Paleontology explain
[Cueball and Ponytail in a museum, near a reconstructed dinosaur fossil and a display cabinet.]
Ponytail: Man, paleontology sucks these days.
Cueball: Why?
Ponytail: Jurassic Park came out 15 years ago.
Cueball: So?
Ponytail: Today’s grad students got into dinosaurs after seeing it as kids. They don’t care about fossils. Brats.

Ponytail: Before they had living dinosaurs handed to them by Hollywood, I was out in Texas digging up Arcocanthosaur teeth.
Cueball: So, you were into dinosaurs when they were still underground?
Ponytail: Exactly!
