Angela Gelsinon biological anthropology sophomore

Anthro sophomore's favorite dinosaur is a T-rex ÷ she thinks the stumpy arms are fun

WILDCAT: Call me stupid, but what are you going to do with your major?

GELSINON: You look at extinct species.

WILDCAT: Ooh, like dinosaurs?

GELSINON: Yeah, whatever, I don't know.

WILDCAT: When I have kids, my little boys are going to wear underoos with dinosaurs on them. Anyway, what's your favorite kind of dinosaur?

GELSINON: Probably a tyrannousaurus rex.

WILDCAT: Well that's original. He has such stumpy arms though.

GELSINON: I know, but I think that's the funnest thing about him.

WILDCAT: Hey, so what is your theory about that one, oh I forgot the name, that they found a bone that they thought was a head horn, but really it was an opposable thumb? Thumb or horn?

GELSINON: I have no idea what you are talking about.

WILDCAT: Are you serious? I swear that there was a dinosaur like that. Anybody? Anybody? All righty. So do you want to work in a museum?

GELSINON: No, National Geographic.

WILDCAT: Interesting. So, when you were little did you dig in your backyard?

GELSINON: Yes, all the time. My backyard was a huge pit.

WILDCAT: Impressive. Find anything?

GELSINON: No. I think I found big bones and stuff.

WILDCAT: Sick. We actually found a femur in our backyard and now it's in the Smithsonian.

GELSINON: Really?

WILDCAT: No, I made that up. All I ever found in the backyard was rocks, more rocks, oh, and the occasional dog bone. So, speaking of bones, do you have to dissect things?

GELSINON: Yeah. I dissected a fetal pig.

WILDCAT: Poor Babe, did you name it? I heard people name their cadavers so that they aren't as creepy. I'm kinda creeped out that we are having this conversation.

GELSINON: I guess I would name it Porky.

WILDCAT: Goodness, you are just full of original ideas tonight.
