T-Rex: Is it Friday? That's great, because Friday is a good day for secrets, and it's the BEST day for
Narrator: SECRETS OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
T-Rex: This one's for humans only! When a human has a baby, it travels through one of them human birth canals, and then doctors measure and weigh and clean baby up, and then bring thon back to the mom. They'll also give the baby eye ointment! But why would a child need eye meds right after birth? Dromiceiomimus: Maybe they have dry eye dise- T-Rex: STDs. They're for STDs, Dromiceiomimus. You know: gonorrhea, chlamydia. The usual!
Utahraptor: It's so the babies don't get them? T-Rex: It's so the babies don't GO TOTALLY BLIND.
T-Rex: These STDs are bacteria, and if baby gets 'em in the eye, bad things can happen! It's just a precaution. Mom can carry them and be asymptomatic, so better safe than sorry! Utahraptor: But isn't that terrible symbolism? "Mom is dirty and cannot be trusted; baby must be sterilized NOW no matter how clean Mom says she is"
T-Rex: Oh man, that reminds me!! If there's one thing I never ever want to do in my life, it's get involved in an argument about birthing politics! T-Rex: Hah hah hah PHEW good thing I remembered
What are the haps my friends

December 16th, 2011:Thanks to John and Dr. Ms. Priya for their medical expertise in this matter!
What happens Monday? SO MANY THINGS, MOST OF THEM AWESOME!! IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER:
Feel Free To Talk To Me If I'm Wearing A Dinosaur Comics Shirt Day! starts at the stroke of midnight and goes all day long. If you're single and you'd like to meet someone who maybe reads the same comic as you, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. If you've got one of my shirts, wear it, and if you don't have one, you can keep an eye out for someone who does! And if something awesome does happen, please email me about it: it'd be totally amazing if everything works out.
One of the last holiday shipping deadlines passes at noon. If you want stuff by Christmas eve, order by noon Monday and use UPS 2 or 3-day shipping! (This one was the non-awesome ones, I wish there were no holiday shipping deadlines but we live in REALITY)
Finally, at 7pm is my combination holiday party / book release party for my new book! We're doing a secret Santa gift exchange and Joey Comeau is gonna ask me personal questions on stage. SHOULD BE FUN?? Also all shipping deadlines to Canada have passed, so this is a great chance to get the book (signed, if you want! I will sign... ANYTHING) for someone.
Okay that concludes your Monday the 19th of December schedule for this year!
