points of action

I recently read this news article about a man who ran his car into a pole, and when asked by the police what caused the accident his one word answer was “pterodactyl”. I thought that was pretty great, and a friend and I decided that it would become our one word answer as well, to be produced when nothing else would work. Then, today I read this post about a tiny pterodactyl fossil found in China the size of a sparrow.
