stars & sharks

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Sharks are older than trees.
They're older than a lot of things. Land plants, Yellowstone, appendages,dinosaurs, doritos.
But are younger than the mountains.
Well....
There's no shark without Mountain Mama
Ehhhh they're younger than some mountains though. There are ranges that are over a billion years old, but the Himalayas are "only" some 40-70 million years old, depending on when you start counting (40-50 if you actually start from being mountains, 70 if you start from "ground moves up")
They're mountains when it's impressive that I can throw a football over them.
Why did I read this to the tune of colors of the wind…
Sharks are older than the grinning bobcat
But are they older than why he grins?
Some of it.
I refuse to believe any animal is older than doritos
No they are wrong. Doritos are eternal.
What do you think the first several hundreds of millions of years were like before they had Doritos?
Appendages? Like, fins?
He's thinking of penguins
Like appendix I imagine.
Aren't appendages external?
