the little dino that could...

there's a dinosaur out there that's never been uncovered... he's a little guy, not too loud... you could kind of lose him in a crowd of people actually... he just keeps to himself a lot... and out of a complete fluke of actions, he managed to avoid the whole "going extinct" thing that his brothers, sisters and general posse went through millions of years ago... yup, that's right, just like elvis and tupac, he's still alive and kickin'... you've probably heard of him... if you have the ability to read this posting then you've likely heard of a thesaurus... it's always been described as a book, much like a dictionary, that leads one to words that capture the same meaning as others words, but makes you sound smarter...
well, i got the journalist scoop on this one and those little books come from this little unbeknowst to us dino that i speak of - the thesaurus... he's been publishing them for years... you see, this little guy slipped through the cracks when the world o' dino went under... he was seeking shade and reading (of course to extend his vocabulary)... looks like the world simply evolved around him and no one thought to interrupt the peaceful pleasure he was taking in a good book... therefore, instead of biting the dust, he turned his wisdom into something we use day in and day out to front to our professors and employers alike... (plus, this is the 2000's - heck, the guy needed a day job!)
the thesaurus: the dino that has changed mankind one word at a time... so next time you right click to change a simple word into something that would make pundits stop dead in their tracks, sit back and think of your good ol' dino friend thesaurus... last i heard he's moved out to maui with elvis and tupac in tow... and i hear warhol is planning on working on the cover of his next edition...
please pass on this legend, as i now find it a disgrace to know that millions of people in this world have no idea how this little guy has changed our vocabulary forever...

*i advise you not be concerned with my mental state or well-being, as this post was brought on by a very strange and absurd conversation had on a long bus ride to orleans... please disregard any overwhelming sense of stupidity this post may raise... thank you
