The "thagomizer" is the name for the spiked tail of a stegosaurid dinosaur. It didn't have a name until the cartoonist Gary Larson published this comic about it, named it, and the scientific community just accepted it and started using it, too.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?
