"Therapists did fairly well in the Permian despite looking like something God created immediately after a two week bathtub gin and methamphetamine bender but then tragedy struck and the archosaurs enjoyed 160 million years of dominance"

No, it's not "therapod"--that's a kind of dinosaur. It's "therapsid", a type of warm-blooded reptile ancestral to dinosaurs and mammals.

Thank you for explaining this to me. I haven't been keeping up with my paleontology and had no idea. Now I have a new favorite mascot, yay!

I like [livejournal.com profile] icecreamempress's comment:

This is my second-favorite Cupertino ever (my first favorite is the iPhone's insistence on autocompleting the letters "ana" as "anal", which is problematic both for people asking others if they are doing "anything" and for a young gentleman who wanted to tell his grandmother that he was doing to pick her up as soon as he'd had a snack, but who forgot the "s').
