Term Adopted by Scientists After First Coined in a 1982 Cartoon
"Thagomizer" has been used to refer to the spiky tails on a stegosaur's tail by the documentary series "Planet Dinosaur" (BBC), the book "The Complete Dinosaur", The Dinosaur National Monument and the #Smithsonian Institution.
Gary Larson showed a cave-man teacher explaining the name as a tribute to Thag Simmons. Link to Wikipedia article.

TIL the Axel jump in figure skating is not so named because you rotate about an axis, as a wheel does an axle, but is named for its inventor, Axel Paulsen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_jump #thagomizer

Behold! The punctured vertebrae #Dinosaur #Fossil of an #Allosaurus caused by the #Thagomizer of a #Stegosaurus. The spikes (seen to illustrate fit) were used for defense. The thagomized allosaurus survived as evidenced by healed bone. #Science #PaleoSky 🧪 🦕 See: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Okay, y'all are probably familiar with the #Thagomizer (if not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thagomizer). In last night's #dream, I was in the same lecture, except it went on - once the thagomizer was removed, you got a long metal fork called Thag's Choice Stick which enabled us to change the environment of the neighbouring region - warm the lakes, slow the rivers, things like that. I or someone else in the dream used it and damaged a major ecosystem. And then switched it back.
My head is weird. -
@stevesilberman It was a sad day in cubicle farms everywhere when Gary Larson's "Far Side" cartoons were replaced with "Dilbert" on the cubicle walls. #Thagomizer #GaryLarson
