Devourer of Worlds

I was reading through Wikipedia today and came across an article about Galactus:


And then I read this quote from Stan Lee about how he was created:

"I created Galactus after we had done so many villains and wanted something different. I wondered, 'How could we get something bigger than a villain? Let's do a guy who's like a demigod — I like the name Galactus'. He comes from outer space and eats planets, or some stupid thing".


This is one of the greatest things I have ever read in my entire in my life. 


Stan Lee, I love you forever.

New Dino!

I thought this was cool for two reasons:

1) I took a dinosaurs class from this cool dude, and it was one of my favorites. Ever.
2) Dinosaurs are awesome and speak to the nine-year-old inside of me, and they always will.





Watching this reminds me of being in his class. I got all pumped when he talks about why it's rare to find sauropod skulls that are still intact. I still can't look at a duck without imagining it as a tiny  Tyrannosaurus, or thinking about it's bio-mechanics or it's crazy lungs. Don't know what I'm talkin' about? LOOK IT UP. Or if you're a BYU student you can take Geology 100 from Dr. Britt. Tell him Kent sent you.

Man. I learned a lot in that class. Like, a lot.

It also made me a fan of Suchomimus, and Dilophosaurus.
