Wouldn't a paleontologist have pretty much the same outfit when they were in the field?
Yeah, except they wear their pith helmets backwards.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The paleontologists I know wear jeans and ratty Grateful Dead tshirts. OK, one of them does. The footprint one. I don't really know what my cousin wears, most pictures have him in a flannel shirt.
Doesn't so much make for a good costume, though.

Well yeah, but with less style.
I was asssuming they identified themselves as archaeologists.
If they were palaeontologists it was a very cool costume idea. If they were archaeologists it makes me cry.

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
As much as 400 year old poop makes you cry?

Lets say some archaeologists dig up some old ruins and come across across an ancient palaeontology museum, complete with dinosaur bones.
Then what happens?

Those are tears of joy, Trudy. Tears of sweet, smelly joy.

We call in the Creationists.

Compassionately intolerant
Like, adults trick-or-treating house to house without kids? They would probably get a "Yo, Peter Pan! You can take your VISA card into a candy store any day of the year!" from me.
I'm a bit torn about this. The adults I get are generally deeply under privileged...sometimes actual crack addicts. Tough to take a moral stand over Tootsie roll bites.
was asssuming they identified themselves as archaeologists.
Nope. That was totally my bad. I thought to call them Adventurers. Shoulda. But he, now I'm reminded of the difference in those noble professions. Sorry for the tears!
