It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Like avocados! That is, I was just recently reading about how avocados probably evolved to be eaten by megafauna who could swallow them whole and deposit the seeds far from the parent.

Er, sorry, I am too far behind on my procedural a to pretend to have something on topic to contribute.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What are the chances that these "megafauna" are the handwavium of evolutionary botany?

Though, to be fair, "It must be an unknown moth with an insanely long tongue, five times longer than any we've ever seen" only took 130 years to be observed, but it turned out to be legit... [link]

So maybe I should have a little more faith. I DO believe in extinct unknown megafauna! I DO believe in extinct unknown megafauna!

Too much in the way (a) fossils and (b) sense-making for that, I'd say. ETA: they aren't unknown megafauna, btw, just extinct.

It's about as fun to say, though. Handwavium. Megafauna. Good times. I've watched a couple of minutes of Criminal Minds, now - are they trying to Mary Sue Blake, is that what's happening?

Ah. I thought the megafauna were still unidentified -- its been a while since I read the avocado thing. If you've got KNOWN megafauna I don't need any sense of wonder at all on this one.

Giant sloths, how's that for a sense of wonder? They were sloths, and they were giant. And ate avocados, apparently.

In terms of Elementary. Maybe it was just me, I but got the feeling he was over-propuncing everything in this episode. Saying "Enter" or maybe even "Entre" with too much emphasis towards the end, and in general pronouncing words with more emphasis, using French versions more and so on. At any rate, I would swear it was an episode-wide thing. Maybe, since the current subplot is his realizing that being an asshole is not just a loveable tic, but can cause real harm, the director asked him to do that to remind the audience throughout of his problem. Again, it could just be me.
