"I have been quite busy in my first semester of graduate school," said Stegosaurus. "It's been tough. My first test was on conifers, and I got nervous and overconfident...I thought I'd do a lot better because I've been eating conifers since I came out of my shell...but I got so nervous that I confused the Eastern White Pine ( pinus strobus) and an introduced species, the Austrian Pine, or ( pinus nigra ). It was very embarrassing. My research was faulty, even after more than 140 million years.

Also, my class went on a field trip to identify some gymnosperms, and we identified the Ginko biloba from the Ginkgoaceae ;

Many thought they were delicious, and in my youth I remember them as being quite so; but these days I can't eat them out of principle. I have a lot of respect for a tree species 10 million years older than I am."
