T-Rex: How come nobody is afraid of quicksand any more? In the 50s, everyone was afraid of getting caught in quicksand all the time!
T-Rex: "It's A Wonderful Life" originally featured FIVE separate quicksand scenes!
T-Rex: "Ben-Hur"? QUICKSAND. "12 Angry Men"? Originally pitched as "12 Angry Men, Angry Because Of Quicksand, They're In It". "Some Like It Hot" was initially about quicksand temperature preferences, before receiving a relatively substantial rewrite!
T-Rex: But now? NOTHING. Plus, PLUS, I can't name a SINGLE top 40 song about getting stuck in quicksand at da club.
Utahraptor: Maybe because quicksand's not a threat, yo!
T-Rex: Huh?
Utahraptor: Where are you going to find a mud puddle so deep that you can go over your head ON ACCIDENT? And even if you DID, any sand dense enough to prevent you from swimming out would be dense enough to make you float. You'd sink only until you displaced enough sand to make you buoyant, and then it's smooth sailing!
T-Rex: So what you're saying is, nobody cares about quicksand any more because it's no longer a threat to us because WE BEAT QUICKSAND!!
T-Rex: Woo! Our civilization is now stronger than GIANT PUDDLES!!
T-Rex: SUCK IT, WET SAND
