Somewhere at the French-Swiss border.

🛃 French border agent:
Excuse me sir, what is in the truck? Do you have anything to declare?

🚚 Truck driver: Just a cloud of 92 #antiprotons in an innovative portable cryogenic Penning trap.

🛃 French border agent: 🫠 🫠 🫠 I'm sorry, I think I owe you some money or something. I don't have the right form to deal with antimatter.

This is real, this is the real world we are.living in 😭😭😭

After rocks, came dinosaurs. There were some animatronic dinosaurs, which seemed to be delighting and scaring a group of school kids that were looking at them. In a dark display case along the wall tho lay a much more important find. One that completely revolutionaised how we understood dinosaurs.

The stone is small. About the size of an a3 sheet of paper. It showed a flattened toothed dinosaur.

A dinosaur with feathers.

Archaeopteryx.

This fossil changed humanity's understanding.

@LoganFive @TheBreadmonkey This guide may help you identify the spit instruments should you come upon them in their native habitat.
@TheBreadmonkey Is that a flautist? Very rare to see one this time of year. They’ve usually migrated to the Phil Harmonic by now.
@LoganFive @TheBreadmonkey Flautists are so ditzy they often forget to migrate.
