I promised last time I posted the first of the ‘Evil Aliens’, I’d come back sometime later to answer the question I posed – Can you guess 2 scientific errors in the making of this cartoon? True to form, the smart readers out there not only came up with my answers, but also some of their own (see comments section on original post).
My two thoughts were:
- hydrogen burns clear to slight blue (my planet is ablaze with yellow and orange flames)
- to have a fire you need fuel (√ – hydrogen from the gas in Jupiter’s makeup), ignition source (√ -the nasty alien’s cigarette butt) and oxygen (× -not much taking place out there in space)
My thanks need to go to Mark from Australian Migration – This was his contribution to one of the possible reasons for the ultimate demise of those cute, green dinosaurs. If you have a theory, why not submit a joke on the Submit a joke page and I’ll have a crack at drawing it. I’m targeting 50:0!
I’ve always had a soft spot for dinosaurs – cute, green giants is how I imagine them to be. I’m sure if I was around 200 million years ago I’d think otherwise.
This is another in the series of ‘Why dinosaurs became extinct’. The moral is, don’t mess with Darwin. If you missed the first three, here they are: Dino take 1, Dino take 2, Dino take 3.
