Ever ponder the real meaning of life? Me neither, too busy fantasizing about blissful nothingness. Speaking of nothingness, let's talk about spending $44.6 million on dead bones. I mean, if facing existential dread, why not do it with a pricey dinosaur fossil? Right?
So, the billionaire Kenneth C. Griffin, who apparently has too much money (can I have some?), bought a stegosaurus for the price of a small country's economy. This old pile of bones now lounges at the American Museum of Natural History, posing for selfies and probably contemplating its own worth.
Sean M. Decatur, big boss at the museum, stated, “It’s one of the dinosaurs that every kid knows how to draw,” which is funny, because it’s also something every broke writer wishes to unsee because, let’s face it, our bank accounts feel emptier by comparison.
They unveiled this dino delight under a beige curtain. A curtain! Even the dino's coming out was fancier than any party I’ve ever had. And, oh, it goes public on Sunday, so now even a dinosaur has a busier social life than me.
In the end, if you're feeling down about dying alone, just remember: at least you won't be auctioned off to the highest bidder! Unless...?
