Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I am, in addition to my tremendous modesty, one of the smartest people on Earth. Each week, Mensa sends a newsletter titled, “Weekly Brainwave.”

You might think this newsletter would contain academic journal articles about theoretical physics or cutting edge technology that could someday cure cancer while simultaneously giving your clothes that “fresh from the laundry” smell for days at a time. You might be a fool.

This week’s newsletter does include a fascinating piece on how complex cells may have evolved. But it also includes a blog post about how Kevin Costner was right, man.

The first article under the “Top News” banner may strike a nerve for us regular folk.

Listen, the biggest dinosaurs may get all the attention, but what about the studious dinosaurs?! The dinosaurs who get together and pick apart riddles about Christmas carols?

That article finally casts a light on the Edmontosaurus, a “perfectly average-sized beast.” Oh, they may not have had spikes stickin’ out the back of their skull, but doggone it, they didn’t have anythin’ to prove! That article suggests dinosaurs started evolvin’ big teeth, long necks and neck spikes to impress each other. Perhaps it was all horn-envy.

Not all dinosaurs were giant. They didn’t all have horns. Some just kept comin’ in every day, fillin’ out their TPS reports. But you know what? Those dinosaurs were still special. The Edmontosaurus could walk on two legs or four legs, for instance.

Me too, Edmontosaurus, me too.

The Edmontosaurus weighed 7,000 pounds, so even though it may not have been Tyrannosaurus-sized, it was probably still an XXL. Me too, Edmontosaurus, me too.

When the Perot Museum first opened, they had the reporters come see all the fossils. They were setting up a display to show what animals were native to North Texas when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Spoilers: We were a lake back then.

I learned the Tyrannosaurus lived in Texas. I also raced one.

The Tyrannosaurus may have beaten me, but maybe I don’t have anything to prove. Maybe my blog speaks for itself, with or without neck-spikes. How many Tyrannosauruses have blogs?!

Plus, we all know the unassuming dinosaurs will be the ones who rise up to conquer Wayne Knight.

In conclusion, Mensa’s Weekly Brainwave should start linking to this blog. It’s clearly a salon for my fellow mammals to be inspired and increase our knowledge through riveting conversation.
