Not quite the same, but I’m waiting for the day when people will pronounce street names like the GPS, instead of how they are actually pronounced. The street Schoenherr, in my neck of the woods is pronounced "Shane urr (yes, like the planet Omicron Percii 8, cause Detroit (Day twah) is weird), but the GPS says “Shown her”. I’m really curious to see how long it takes for the computer voice to be considered the correct one.

I go all out for Halloween. I’ve learned it’s cheaper to buy Garage sale/thrift store stuff like this for creepy decorations, than it is to get stuff from Halloween stores or even the dollar store sometimes. I have the coolest “potion” bottles made of old decanters. The massive influx of stuff that came into thrift stores after covid started, was awesome, in the most morbid way.

I love stuff like this. Here are some real dinosaur/extinct creature names!

• Sauroniops: Literally means Eye of Sauron

• Dracorex Hogwartsia: Dragon King of Hogwarts

• Thanos Simonattoi: after Thanos

• Irritator Challengeri: he was hard to dig up and scientists were angry

• Gasosaurus: discovered while a gas company was being built.

• Gojirasaurus: self explanatory

• Attenborosaurus: plesiosaurus named after David Attenborough.

• Crichtonosaurus: similar to an ankylo and named after author of Jurassic Park

• Bambiraptor sounds cute, and it’s named after the deer (because it was deer sized), but it was a fierce and deadly creature.

There’s so many more; I could nerd out forever. I miss when I was a little girl, and people would actually talk to me about dinosaurs…
