    I know this is a joke but all land vertebrates have roughly the same number of vertebrae. A long neck means longer vertebrae, not more.

    We know from recent excavations in Utah that there was a centipede type and a hydra type.

    We also know science misinformation is a good thing, and nothing could go wrong from joking about the earth being flat.

    Looks like sauropods also lived in a world with pacman style topology.
