Yep! They only floaty things that don't scare me are airplanes and kites!

When you were a kid, did you have a tragic accident with a helium balloon or something?

I might have. I'm good at blocking out traumatic events.

Not in years.

I am a believer that animals are a lot smarter than the average person gives them credit for.

Except sheep.

Sheep are fucking stupid.

Which leads to the possibility that dinosaurs might have been a lot smarter than we think. Just imagine if they hadn't been extincted, they would have been 40 millions years ahead, and by now, they might have developed interstellar travelling?!??
