It's what I do....

Daydream. Often, though not exclusively, in the bath. This is because I may be a throwback. I think I once was a diplodocus. Long ago, when you could teach dinosaurs, I remember reading, ' The diplodocus, in order to support its  great weight, spent most of its time in water.' (I am lighter now...)

I was pondering on the fate of the diplodocus thinking what fun it must be to wallow all day, hopefully in tropical waters, and well before any extinction event. I decided I would like to be reincarnated as a diplodocus. There are snags, I know. Can one be reincarnated backwards? If you can, would you have to be reclassified as a brachiosaurus, even if you didn't  want to be? These are important existential questions, and I am amazed the internet is  silent on these matters. I ask you, what are the chances of THAT?
