This is an amazing idea, may have to steal this! My kids probably have an advantage over me, since they have proportionally less mass and apparently hollow legs, but I reckon I'm up for the challenge...

Thank you! I said the exact same thing to my kid, I'm in awe of folks who can do that 😊 I will keep you posted on dino progress! And if you DM me your address I shall send you something nice in exchange 😊

Thank you for this! I've had terrible problems with neuropathic pain in my legs for the last few years, which I'm told is likely a software problem in my brain rather than a hardware problem with my bones or muscles, and acupuncture is one of the few things that seems to make it easier.

I'm having so much fun! I've not done any drawing for ages 😊 thank you for hosting, I'm really enjoying looking up pictures of the daily nudibranch and being delighted that such beautiful ridiculous creatures exist 💜

Oh that's so cute! I think could assemble it for you... I can swap you for... *rummages in bag*... a couple of pinecone-shaped foraging purses?

How much of each millionaire do we have to consume? I seem to recall that prions are only an issue if you eat the brain (although I may be wrong) so maybe if we just left that bit aside?

I'm really enjoying looking up reference pictures on inaturalist each day and saying "how is this a real creature?? That's obviously a fancy jelly bean" 😊

Sorry to hear you're going through it, sending all best wishes. Here's a photo of me last week when I visited the Wondrous Yew in Gresford (it is indeed wondrous and I was very excited).

Like, if you can't give us some kind of ending to season 1, why should I believe you'll give us any answers in season 2? Or season 10, for that matter? I worry it means YOU don't know the answers either.
It's doubly frustrating because I've quite enjoyed what they're doing.
