There’s a promo for a new History Channel show about dinosaurs where some scientist talks about some excavation site they’re studying, and he calls it: “A paleo crime scene”. Really? A crime scene? Like it was against the law for dinosaurs to kill each other, and this was a criminal act of wanton murder? I hope they solve it, because we don’t want criminal dinosaurs getting away scot-free with murder! That will just embolden all the other vicious dinosaur murderers! And then we’ll be next!
Thank God these camera-addicted scientists are saving us from dinosaur murderers! Hey, maybe this will breathe new life into the sagging CSI series! How about this for a spin-off show?: CSI: Paleo! They solve the murder of every dinosaur fossil they find, and the end of every episode shows them hauling away some dinosaur in handcuffs. Or maybe they confiscate some articulated dinosaur skeleton from a natural history museum, and then they throw it into a jail cell! Awesome! Oh, but then some lawyer can get the fossils off on some sneaky legal technicality, so it can kill again! And you’re next!
