Said the trilobite, an ancient fossil
called Flexicalymene, to the lychnobite,
a crocodile called Shahrazad, writing
at night while sleeping during the day
- in modern times, the crocodile has
fires at night to keep it warm -
'You seem very erudite, can you
tell me why trilobite specimens
are on sale on the Internet? ' The
crocodile improvised and said with
a friendly smile: 'It must be a case
of evolution passing you by, you
never adapted like I did, you lost
every game in the Middle Cambrian,
but I simply went on to win
The World Cup! '
