List of dinosaurs that lived together, MKV

Will help create more accurate exhibits, if that's what you want. I've updated this to specify which game each animal can be found in, which hopefully makes it easier to sort. As before, I'll edit this as more species are added. Please enjoy!

A tongue-in-cheek zoological classification of certain fascinating species we can find in swimming pools...

It has been many years since last studied any Latin, but a tongue-in-cheek (and most certainly far from absolutely correct Latin) classification of certain strange species one can find in swimming pools... during open/public and lane swimming sessions.

The list is probably far from complete...

Firmum Seminiverbius (stable talker)

Members of this species can be found standing at the shallow end(s), deeply immersed in lengthy chats with other members of the same species. In both public and lane swimming sessions, they give murderous looks to swimmers whilst making it impossible for them to do turns of any kind. Theories abound on whether they are merely attracted to the humid environment, the chemicals in the water, or they are just passive aggressive species who keep energy expenditure to a minimum - most of the latter being taken up by the constant vocal output.

Ignarus Faustum (ignorant bliss)

Members of this species exhibit, from anthropocentric viewpoint, a facial expression of a deep state of bliss - whilst they are doing very slow breaststroke, or some imitation of it, in the fast lanes during lane swimming sessions.No matter how many swimmers overtake them and how many times, they always continue their activity with an unchanged blissful expression on their faces. This usually happens in pools supervised by another species, the Altum Inanis Oculi, which chooses not to notice the chaos ensuing in those lanes.

Inscitus Inscius (stupid ignorant)

They are an elusive species, but they can be seen during very busy public swim sessions in smaller pools. They choose to swim backstroke in the middle, never at the edges, of the busy pool.In order to produce maximum possible chaos, even in pools that have straight parallel lines or structures visible on the ceiling that they could use as reference, they perform backstroke either with a random wavy trajectory or at a random angle.The expression on their faces, when collisions occur, is something that is still being attempted to be classified by behavioural experts. One key trait is clear, though: members of these species, when accidentally hit, are the first to complain to representatives of the Altum Inanis Oculi species.

Centro Universum (centre of the universe)

Members of this species are a fascinating sight for both cognitive and behavioural scientists. They can be swimming breaststroke, with their head above the water, both eyes facing forward - but, in public swimming sessions,

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
