"This is normal" all the way though, hah.

Though as a dino nerd, a rex is a theropod! Sauropod is the long-necked ones, like brachiosaurus and dreadnaughtus.

Damn. I was just trying to avoid dinosaur there and think I meant synapsid.

Close!

Synapsid are a bit different, they're one of the earlier evolutionary animals from basal ones. Synapsids go on into early mammals. (And most everything more closely related to them than sauropsids, like later crocodilians)

I think you were going for sauropsid, which go on into the dinosaurs and birds.

Cotylorhynchus is one of the most unfortunately hilarious synapsids, it's got such a small head!

(I'm a buff over here, and love telling/sharing. I hope I don't come across as trying to correct you, I just have a love for this subject! )

Ah, that's probably right. Thanks for the correction. If this wasn't five minute fanfic I probably would have made better sure of my wording.

I really liked it though, and I'm betting that took more than five minutes to write! =P

I don't follow Dr Who, but I know enough through people that do. It's amusing to think that this could happen, and well... why not? That'd be an amusing Christmas episode!
