Stats

by in Plain and simple, Rhino Nifty, Your INNER Rhino | 1 Comment

As We may have mentioned, organized sports often have more than 3 rules. But on friendly advice, We feel that mentioning Your Inner Rhino‘s Batting Average (related to Baseball) might help Us feel smug, which is always pleasant.

In the 1096 days We have been publishing, We have had 1092 fresh postings; thus, our Batting Average is 996. The computation was explained, but We got confused and took a second brunch break.

Baseballicly, a single is as good as a home run for these statistics, which is helpful. Even at Your Inner Rhino, We can’t win ’em all.

Thanks, say We

Today, October 20, marks the third Anniversary of Your Inner Rhino.com.

We are going with the patchwork look, that being the nature of our presentation. A bit of this, a shred of that, loosely stitched together with whatever comes to hand.

As always, We are grateful for your continued Attention. Tell your friends, bully your relatives, collar complete strangers. Semper Rhino.

It’s mind-boggling how earnest the efforts have been to understand the Age of Reptiles. The Iguanadon, shown above, was composited by Gideon and Mary Ann Mantell in 1822, using a single tooth she had found on her lunch break. Mr. Mantell was determined to sort it out, and did remarkably well. That’s the astonishing part: how accomplished people were at the time, functioning almost entirely on their wits.

They were also dedicated to the point of mania. Everyone was an amateur really, so the competition was primarily for bragging rights. But these folks really put in the work.

The Mantell’s version had a little horn on the Iguanadon’s nose, which We Rhinos applaud. However, it turned out to be a claw after more consideration.

Clearly these early Naturalists had a lot of Inner Rhino pumping away. What else would account for it all, huh?

Coming up with a topic for the day’s blog post is not always easy at Your Inner Rhino. It’s frustrating. Much grinding of teeth and low moaning.

The Staff are then forced to extreme measures, scanning the skies for a Message. It was during such a phase when We arrived at the Cookie Solution; if Santa Claus comes for cookies, perhaps the same thing is true for the Blog Muse. Put out some cookies, and hope for the best.

So far, it’s worked pretty well.

An ounce of prevention…

1-17feeling-better

…is worth a pound of cure, says the adage. Rhinos in the Wild take this idea seriously. When We have a medical problem, our systems have to be shipshape, primed, and ready to repair Us.

Rhinos have no doctors nor medicine, just the combined vim of the plants We eat as our steady diet.

Happily, Nature gives Rhinos the sense to eat right, and that way, We come out OK. Often.
