Few are as easy to please with your adaptation.

She’s a fake leftist because she’s a competent politician.

This is the man I keep having to have the Pinkertons chase off my gold claim.

Not sure. But I guess she lives in the neighborhood, so next time I see her I’ll run as fast as I can in her direction and ask in as loud a voice as I can manage (in case there’s traffic noise).

No. But I dare not say…

Good piece! (Although I have a BIG problem with this book I dare not speak aloud.)

I got this for my son who was born in September, so yes.

I mean asteroid belt, of course.

I started to feel bad for all the people waiting and cut the talk short. I shook Mr. Adams' hand and had him sign a page in my notebook. No idea where that went. I remember his palm being meaty.

There was more to his theory, including something about the Pangea supercontinent only being able to exist because the earth used to have less water. He said scientists don't know about this because they're not allowed to read about it. "I didn't get a Ph.D., so no books are forbidden to me."

Meanwhile, the line for Mr. Adams' autograph was growing longer and more restless. He ignored it. I asked if he needed to sign some things, and he waved off his fans. "They can wait," he said. "This is more important."

"Dinosaurs couldn't walk around today," Mr. Adams said. "Their legs would break and their necks would snap." The whole time we had this conversation, he was drawing a magazine ad for M&Ms, which depicted anthropomorphic M&Ms decorating a Christmas tree.

The legendary comic book artist Neal Adams went on to explain the existence of dinosaurs is proof of his theory. Animals used to be able to grow really big because the earth was smaller and thus had lower gravity.

Eventually they grow so large they can't sustain themselves and explode. This is the origin story of our solar system's asteroid planet. It used to be a big, chunky planet. Its matter-making cloud will congeal again somewhere else eventually and make a new planet.

Over millions of years, these clouds keep spitting out more and more material, and the planets forming around them get bigger and bigger. Some are rock, some are gas. But they're all formed the same way.
