The budding young paleontologists (and those just here for their science credits) are treated to a big batch of Twinkies today. Smart Doctor Glasses Dude (aka Dr Tommy Oliver) is strangely absent. Instead, Professor Ted 'Theodore' Logan is at the front of the class as people come in.

"Afternoon, dudes! Smart Doctor Glasses Dude had to go out of town, so I'm taking his class today. For those I haven't met yet, my name is Ted 'Theodore' Logan. You dudes.. uh, dude and dudettes can totally call me Professor Ted. I normally teach music, but I've done some time travelling in my time, so I can teach about dinosaurs too!"

He cleared his throat and continued. "Some dinosaurs were big. Some dinosaurs were small. Most dinosaurs were cold-blooded reptiles, but some were warm-blooded too. Warm-blooded reptiles. Weird huh? Anyway, some dinos could run. Some could only plod along slowly. Those were the couch potatoes of the dinosaur kingdom. Some could even fly, and they didn't even have feathers!

They were totally like us, dudes. They lived together in herds and they ate food and drank water and listened to music that they made with their own voices. They had enemies and fought battles and celebrated together. They may have had smaller brains than us, but they totally lived like us. Remember that when you're digging up their bones, dudes. They're not just dead animals. They had lives too...until they died. Then they had deaths! But not like DEATH who used to go to school here. Or my good friend the Grim Reaper.

So, today's talk poses a most serious question. If you were a dinosaur, what would your life be like? Would you be a party animal dino? Or a quiet dino? What would you do for fun?

Uh, yeah. That's it. Party on, dinosaur-digging dudes!"

Talk to Ted, dudes.

Grab some Twinkies!

Molly signed in and happily grabbed some Twinkies.

Recognizing her slightly odd, but amusing and shiny music teacher from last semester, Sharon signed in and grabbed a twinkie with glee.

Rory faced a dilemma.

On one hand, no Smart Doctor Glasses. That was good cause for deep, serious woe.

On the other...Twinkies.

Rory signed in, grabbed a Twinkie, and took her seat.

Kawalsky signed in.

Janet signed in and took a Twinkie. Because, what the heck? Twinkies.

Rose signs in.

If you were a dinosaur, what would your life be like? Would you be a party animal dino? Or a quiet dino? What would you do for fun?

Sharon considered carefully. "I'd be a dinosaur of a different color." Okay, that hadn't quite sounded right, "I'd be a dinosaur with a good sense of, of--" no flailing. "--of style. Green scales with purple underbelly. And I'd be a poet."

...well. At least it hadn't been truly awful. Sharon very carefully did not bang her head on the desk.

"If you were a dinosaur and I was a dinosaur, I'd totally hang out with you, dudette."

"I think I'd be a quiet dino," Rory answered honestly.

"A quiet dino that had fun?"

"Uh huh. And did quiet things. Like, I'd be the nerdosaurus," Rory said.

"Dude, good choice. The nerdosaurus is a rare and mysteeeerious creature. Good at hiding!"

"I'd be one of them dinosaurs that's tough and can stick it out. The kind that can throw his weight around if he has to, and would go off exploring new places and kicking some T-Rex ass."

"I'd probably be a dinosaur that liked to party," said Janet. "Except I'd still try to maintain my grade point average so I could go to dinosaur medical school in college."

Without a doubt, this is the weirdest science class she's ever attended.

Molly thought about her answer for a while. "I think I'd like to be a dinosaur that does fun things," she finally said. "I wouldn't want to be one of those that just wanders around eating grass. I'd like to be able to fly anywhere and do cool things, but still be able to stop anywhere and sleep whenever I wanted to."

"That sounds totally like the kind of dinosaur I'd like to be, Pink Hat Dudette! Excellent!"

Molly beamed at him happily.

Talk to Ted again, dudes.

All your dino are belong to us!
