early morning laughs
background: 2 years ago alisha bought casey 600 thread count sheets. a year ago, he receives a set of 200 thread count sheets as a gift. i suggest exchanging them for a higher thread count and he claims he's not worried about it, he'll sleep on them anyways.
casey: i switched sheets last night. you're right the lower thread count feels like straw
casey: now i know what jesus felt like in the barn
alisha: bahahahahahaha

Gerrothorax
Genus Gerrothorax
(meaning wicker chest)
Gerrothorax was a genus of temnospondyl amphibians from Triassic Europe with fossils being found in Greenland and Germany. This genus is compromised of only one species G.pulcherrimus although some other species have been proposed. This animal was fairly large for an amphibian growing up to 3ft long, it also had a very flat body, presumably for helping it hide in mud, and a football shaped skull similar to the one of Diplocaulus. Fossil evidence shows that gerrothorax retained its larval gills through adulthood, similar to modern amphibians like the olm and axolotl. This animal also had a unique method of opening its mouth. rather than dropping its jaw to open its mouth it lifted its head up (like a toilet seat) to catch prey.

flying squid
Pacific flying squid (Todarodes pacificus) leap out of the water and take flight in the northwest Pacific Ocean, 600 km east of Tokyo. The mollusc propels itself out of the ocean by shooting a jet of water at high pressure, before opening its fins to glide at up to 11.2 metres per second, and then fly more than 30 m (100 feet)…

Arsinoitherium
“Arsinoitherium is an extinct genus of paenungulate mammal related to elephants, sirenians, hyraxes and the extinct desmostylians, as well as to other extinct embrithopods. These species were rhinoceros-like herbivores that lived during the late Eocene and the early Oligocene of northern Africa from 36 to 30 million years ago, in areas of tropical rainforest and at the margin of mangrove swamps.” Wikipedia

Shonisaurus
was a genus of large ichthyosaurs that lived in the late Triassic. This genus was one of the largest of the ichthyosaurs with species measuring up to 50 feet long. Shonisaurus had a long snout and longer and narrower flippers than other ichthyosaurs, these features suggest that the shonisaurs may be an offshoot of the ichthyosaur line.
