The sun isn't a giant, it's a yellow dwarf.

I think our very first complete and articulated dinosaurs came from a coal mine in Belgium.

Belgian coal is pretty cool.

Moar facts: if you could slow down the earth just enough that the length of the year increased by 2/3rds of a second and convert all the kinetic energy to usable energy, you'd have a years worth of power.

30+ Iguanodons from Bernissart.

seems like we've had some good coal mine dino ichnology as well...

>mfw we will survive the upcoming bottleneck, we leave the earth as powerful trans-humans, in great heighliners, rding mighty fonts of photo-leptonic fire. We travel so fast and so far we forget the location of the earth. We sail around the curvature of the universe we can no longer see our home galaxy. As we grasp the spars of our great sailing ships we feel solar wind and gamma rays brace our vacuum hardened skin.

Well... they surely need to have something this awesome to keep people in the country. Can you imagine how painfully confusing would be to speak both french and german? I would be reluctant to live there even if I was able to burn dinosaurs for wormth.

Does non-charcoal coal qualify for barbeque? Because dino-bb& would be extra-awesome!

Not sure about the charcoal thing, but I have found dino bone so unmineralized that you can burn it.

I've also tried dino soup, powdered dino bone in chicken noodle soup. tastes gritty...

There's no unracemized amino acids to be found in the surface of a small bone fragment, and there's no harm in destroying one of the billions of unidentifiable bone fragments out there.

It's taphonomically interesting, but certainly not rare. If someone wants to study some I can easily point them to a number of specimens in museum and private collections, as well as vast acres of land where you can find it.

Also I'm attempting to expand on William Buckland's flavor based taxonomy. I need to eat every animal I can find, in order to classify it correctly.

>> No.2124275

Okay OP, you win. You just need to build all the materials, send it into space, assemble it, then invent a way to transmit the power collected back to Earth at such a distance with 0% loss.

Get on it faggot.
