Silliness, Cont.

The BBC* is having a silly day, apparently:

The tracks left by a giant water scorpion as it dragged its great bulk across a beach 330 million years ago have been discovered in Scottish rock.

The six-legged beast would have been about 1.6m (5.2ft) long and a metre wide. It is known as Hibbertopterus.

1.6m by 1m? And they think it was just a simple scorpion? I don't think so. We here at Dymaxion World have cracked this mystery, and we hereby reveal the creature that really left these tracks. It's not a scorpion, but rather...



THE SCORPION KING!!! (Artist's rendering.) Our only hope is that this evil overlord can be stopped by a combination of cute children, dopey fathers, and Rachel Weisz - who, by the way, is almost 35 and hot**.

Maybe we can recruit the carnivorous squirrels in our battle against this immortal evil.

(*The suggestion that I am having a silly day is of course ridiculous.)

(**I think I've written about the hotness of women not my girlfriend twice today, making it far too often for safety. You're all sworn to secrecy.)
