@ Tumbler; I will be discontinuing my time with you because of your unsolicited censorship. I have enjoyed this sight, but it is apparent you wish to control what we can, or can not enjoy.

Anonymous asked:
what were the purpose of those super tiny arms? I can't imagine they were any good for hunting or fighting so what's the point of micro arms?
That’s a good question! Carnotaurus and other abelisaurs have ridiculously tiny arms:
Those two bones that look like the wrist? That’s the entire forearm.
There’s some indication that they may have been especially flexible, which could point to them being used in some sort of display or other intraspecific behaviour. It’s also quite possible that they just…didn’t really serve any function. They could just be vestigial - that is, an evolutionary “leftover” that just hasn’t had the pressure to evolve away (like kiwi wings, or whale hips).
The reason I question this is convergent evolution. It seems to me they had a purpose, but I can think of noting. I am not a pro, but several different taxa I would think at least some would have lost them. Not arguing just my thought.

This is US ARMY Special Forces Staff Sargeant Nick Lavery. He lost his leg while deployed in Afghanistan, and fought not only for his life but for another chance to return to active duty and continue to serve his country after being given the offer to medically retire.
While on his deployment in Afghanistan, his team was fighting in the Wardak Province and took shrapnel from an RPG which left a “lemon-sized hole” in his shoulder. Refusing to be evac-ed, he plugged the hole with gauze and continued taking the fight to the enemy. He was eventually taken to BAB where he was treated for his injuries.
In November 2012, while riding in truck convoy, the vehicle he was in was hit by an IED. Amidst the ensuing firefight, Lavery sprung into action, running to the aid of his comrades and managed to take out two enemies and another one as he was trying to flee. As he was pursuing the third shooter, he took a bullet to the face! Seeing the truck on fire Lavery ran toward the flaming vehicle, and searched through the rubble for any injured teammates. He found Captain Neiman, who had managed to survive the blast despite having served an artery in his arm and both his legs being severely mangled. Lavery managed to pull Captain Neiman out saving his life.
In March 2013, Lavery placed himself between a young soldier who had frozen when a member of the Afghan police opened fire with a machine gun. Lavery tackled the teenage soldier and dragged him to cover but in doing so was shot in the legs multiple times severing his femoral artery. He applied a tourney to stop the bleeding until he was taken to medical care. Due to the extensive injury Lavery eventually lost his leg and was given a prosthetic limb. He was offered medical retirement but declined.
SSGT Nick Lavery continues serving as a tactical combat instructor at Ft. Bragg while continuing his rehab with his prosthetic leg

Everyone who reblogs this before Nov 5 gets a doodle based off their blog url. Probably. Don’t reblog after Nov 5!
Ummmm, I would absolutely love one if it’s physically possible. But only if you can!
Let’s see.

Poor Elves…
All of my yes.
To those of you whom are following me. I have no idea why you are, but thank you.
Hello. I am just going to put this out there. Moriarty NM Aug. 4th. Comic Con. to benefit the Library, and convention center. Last year we had the Mr.T van, and Transformers. Asking anyone interested in the Alb area to join us. It is a PG13 event.
A comic-con in Moriarty NM. for those in the Albuquerque area. It is for the Moriarty Convention Center. We had a great turn out last year, but I am hoping this year we can get some cos-players. Aug.4th 2018.
We are having our second comic-con in Moriarty NM. on Aug 4th this year, and I am hoping to get cos-players.
Is there a way to ask them without seeming creepy, or is it better to just hope they find out, and just show up?
