Yes. It comes from a word that would have been used to refer to lizards, but also to other animals that are not thought of as lizards, or at least are not thought of lizards anymore.

Lavamancer's Skill!

Well, in one case (comma used to link your two statements with one being dependent on the other) I have no response other than bewilderment. In the other case, it's pretty much a discussion-ender anyway. I could potentially attempt to show that the second statement (that things have no bearing...

I want to be clear that you mean what you typed there, as the way it reads is quite baffling. Your use of a comma makes it look like you're saying... "Because of the fact that I am neither talking about nor concerned about X, X cannot have bearing on what I am saying." But I suspect that...

Part 6 of the A/B/U review should be ready. Actually, I think it's ready now. I just need to remember to email it to Spidey. So yeah, that should be showing up on schedule. However, I may not be on much, if at all, other than that for this week. I'll be out of town a lot.

Haha, someone else is the target of the poop ghost. Oh, schadenfreude.

So we agree that dinosaurs aren't lizards and neither of us knows the exact rationale behind the erratum, although obviously it was part of the consolidation process and came about because there weren't any other dinosaurs in the game. Speculation can be fun, but the points I raised are still...

It's true that you didn't say dinosaurs are actually lizards. And I was aware of that, because you said the opposite of that, here... I didn't mean to imply that you actually said the opposite of what you'd said. That would be silly (in stark contrast to the rest of this thread). And engaging...

That's the training camp. Everyone is leveled up now, so I guess Carrow is just sightseeing until everyone else is done...

Leveled everyone up and threw in some starting gear for Tomas and Tyresius. They don't have any money for shopping, but the rest of the Warriors do. Let's see... -Throg is visiting the animal trader, armorer, weaponsmith, and general store. -Dorgath is visiting the temple, fletcher, armorer...

You're probably better with Greek letters than I am, then. They don't show up much in chemistry, except sometimes when there's crossover with physics, which I try to avoid. Still, on close inspection I recognize the delta and know that it's pronounced like a "d." Same thing with the nu and "n"...

Google translator isn't very smart. But I just checked and you can, if you want to, put a space between the words so that it recognizes them individually. "δεινός σαῦρος" gets translated as "formidable lizard."

Look at the thread title. Pygmy Allosaurus is (more or less) the topic. Any argument about Pygmy Allosaurus, no matter how silly, is relevant. Oh yes, you've walked into the dinosaur zone! :p Alternatively, if you are Spiderman, perhaps you've walked into the δεινόςσαῦρος zone?

I asked you how it is that you're determining what I'm saying doesn't matter, whereas what you say apparently does matter. You responded by telling me that something I said doesn't matter. Actually, I'll put it this way... -Allosauruses are dinosaurs. -Dinosaurs are not lizards. -Therefore...

You keep telling me that things don't matter. What's your basis for this? And you're still ignoring my point that etymology isn't a substitute for meaning, and that if we went by etymology, whales would be fish.

None here, of course...

I think your conclusion that I'm doing this is causing you to miss something. Zero. Zero dinosaurs are lizards. They're not remotely like lizards. I mean, they had two eyes, four limbs, one mouth, one tail, and such. But I don't think that those traits really scream, "lizardlike." Fossils...

Why Turgy, whatever are you talking about?

Took me a second, but I got it. If the Formica company is to be believed, their founders came up with the name because they were using the resin as a substitute for mica in electrical insulation. You know, "substitute for mica" → "for mica" → "formica" The resin is made with formaldehyde, though.

That proxy is using the art from the foil Grand Prix printing of Jitte. Real Grand Prix Jittes are worth a lot, of course. Personally, I'm all for people being able to use proxies in casual games so long as everyone involved knows and agrees beforehand.
