  • I love this question! This made me really happy. My favorite has always been (and remains) the brontosaurus. (Probably can blame “The Land Before Time” for its influence.)

    I remember in the early/mid-90s being corrected that brontosaurus wasn’t a dinosaur species, but was actually the same as apatosaurus. Being a stubborn child, I refused to accept this and always considered the brontosaurus, not the apatosaurus, my favorite. I felt so vindicated when the study came out in 2015 that brontosaurus and apatosaurus weren’t the same.

    Perhaps that’s why I still stubbornly refuse to let go of Pluto: the minute hope that my favorite planet will be recognized again someday. Alas.









  • When I was a young kid, I had a cat that was front-declawed (this was before it was well known that it’s an abusive practice - my folks didn’t know better at the time). Because he couldn’t shred the paper with his claws, he showed his spite by chewing up the roll so it looked like he’d clawed it. Didn’t matter which direction the roll was.

    I loved that cat. He was so smart.
