In which we discover we have way too much in common with...a dinosaur.

What we learned about Stegosaurus:

o The distance between Stegosaurus and T. Rex is much greater than the distance between T. Rex and us. (80+ million years vs. 66 million years.)

o We're not sure what the back plates were for. Possibly to be cool; possibly just to look cool.

o Stegosaurus ate rocks to help digest those prehistoric fern salads.

o It's Colorado's official state fossil. You can even get Stegosaurus vanity plates, but you have to register a vehicle there. So...goals.

o In The Far Side, Gary Larson named the spiked tail the thagomizer ("after the late Thag Simmons"). It is now the standard anatomical term.

What we learned about "Desperado":

o It's not The Eagles. It's just Eagles.

o While considered one of their greatest hits (it's even on Their Greatest Hits), it was never a single and therefore not a hit.

o Don Henley didn't like his vocals but wasn't given a chance to redo them.

o The song plays a central role on Seinfeld (Season 8, Episode 7).

Cold-blooded reptilians:

o M. Spaff Sumsion: Lyrics

o Robert Lund: All vocals, all instruments, all production, all everything else

Oh and hey: Check out the music video (YouTube link below). It's our first one in years and represents Spaff's first attempt to harness AI. (To be clear: The lyrics are 100% human. The music and vocals are 100% human. But the images in the video are 100% AI.)
