It went something like this:
  1. My boss
  2. Country life
  3. Being prepared to kill things
  4. Killing everything that moves...
  5. Tyrannosaurus Rexes with guns!
  6. Designing weapons suitable for little tyrannosaur forelimbs
  7. Cybernetic T. Rexes!
It then continued into such important fields as how you would paradrop your cyberwarrior dinosaurs with in-built lasers into enemy territory, and so on. For some reason there was a strong thread about getting T. Rexes to push shopping trolleys, because their little hands are ideal for holding a horizontal bar: it was decided that rather than laser weaponry the cyberdinos could be given barcode readers and sent around to fill the orders for home deliveries. Due thought was put toward the challenge of breeding pygmy tyrannosaurs in case the trolleys were too small for full-size ones.

What is the plural of Rex, anyway?

Mike is raising money for Comic Relief by publishing a book of funny blog posts submitted by UK bloggers. See Troubled Diva for details. The deadline for submissions is now 6pm on Tuesday the 13th of Marth (tomorrow), but that changed once already as far as I can tell so if you want to submit something best get over there ASAP.

And if you don't have anything to submit, you could help by bringing more attention to it, or by buying the book when it appears.
