Quote of the Day: From Comic Patton Oswalt

Jan 22, 2015  •  Post A Comment

Comic Patton Oswalt was asked by The Atlantic magazine, “What is the greatest upset in history?”

Here’s Patton’s answer: “Mammals winning out over the dinosaurs. Whatever upset the balance—asteroid, climate change, clumsy time travelers—gave us the space to climb down from the trees and take over the planet. I wouldn’t have bet on our ancestors against the thunder lizards, but here I sit, typing on my laptop, which I’m now going to use to look at porn. Thank God our side won, huh?”
