Rubbing my onion

 

This was actually funny! Overheard at The Onion´s YouTube channel and its commentary thread.

>>>Research Suggests Life On Earth Began Full 20 Minutes Earlier Than Previously Thought.

>>>This is further complicated by the fact that clocks were still being adjusted for daylight savings time . . .

>>>In young earth creationism those 20 minutes actually make a big difference..

>>>This is why I don't trust scientists. Next they're going to say it was 30 minutes.

>>>This is like that joke about the curator at the museum who says the dinosaur skeleton is 65 million and 3 years old, because it was 65 million years old when he started working there 3 years ago.

>>>Or like the rock salt i have in my pantry: it says its 250 million years old, but its best by date says its no longer good to eat in 5 years. I guess that they digged it up just in time.

>>>The expiration date is for the container itself.

>>>Surprised they didn’t find a way to cry about Trump in this post. That's not very onion of you.

>>>But even when he wasn´t mentioned, you still bring him. That is very MAGA of you.

>>>I remember another headline that said something like “dinosaur fossils found, suggesting ancient dinosaur museum”.

>>>When I was a kid, the dinosaur book my parents read to me said that the dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago. Now, that I'm the parent reading to the kids they say the dinosaurs died off 66 million years ago. I tell ya, time flies.
