Nah snakes were later, it was lizards at first, terrible/powerful lizards/reptiles literally the meaning of dino saur, and then they lost their legs some claim it was due to the act of the serpent in Eden, others claim it was due to legs being unfavourable in the environment a lizard existed, because of many various reasons, much of which are to do with being preyed upon amongst other issues such as preying upon others.
Snakes were late Cretaceous I think.
But there were amphibians long before Dinosaurs, and Fish long before them. But you have to go back much further to get back to early eggs: Arthropoda, annelids… way way way back (screen goes fuzzy ala Waynes World didl a didy la diddy la…
Overheard on the Underground:
“Knock, knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“What do the following have in common:
A: The studio in The Truman Show
B: The Great Wall of China
C: The Red Line in Syria.”
“What do the following have in common:
A: The studio in The Truman Show
B: The Great Wall of China
C: The Red Line in Syria, who?”
“It’s not a knock knock joke. It’s a question: What do they have in common?”
“No idea.”
“You can see them from the Moon.”
“Don’t get it. Anyway, apparently, you can’t even see the great wall of China from the Moon. And The Truman Show isn’t even real. And I don’t get the bit about the red line.”
“It’s wide.”
“Still don’t get it. Not funny. Don’t know why you said, ‘knock, knock’.”
A scientist and a philosopher were being chased by a hungry lion. The scientist made some quick calculations, he said “its no good trying to outrun it, its catching up”. The philosopher kept a little ahead and replied " I am not trying to outrun the lion, I am trying to out run you"!
You need to come up with something - even your own punch line. I bet you can make it funny or witty or philosophical. You have a scientific mind so you could do it.
Does the opposite apply

On no account should you try to fill black holes with rubbish,
or any other matter.
This isn’t a one liner, or even a joke, and certainly not funny, but I thought it belongs here:
Just off the presses: two philosophers got into a heated argument today, while discussing Kant in a Moscow suburb, and while the dialogue got heated, one of the participants whipped out a gun and shot the other philosopher. He is in critical condition.
Equivicating always has class because it presents an opportunity for a way out. If you don’t’t like one side of the equation, you can always retreat to the other.
Double meanings are often a comfort, because the intended meaning is made into a kind of humoresque, provided the intendee is not locked into one side of the equation presented by the intendor.
This may perhaps already be in here but since I do not have the time to check - it’s still good for a laugh…
Descartes went into a bar and had a drink. When the bartender asked Descartes if he wanted another one, Descartes said: “I Think Not!” ------ and disappeared.
Well, I do think that’s rather funny.
It is funny, Arcturus, but it may be even a little more funny if before he disappeared, after he said "I think not" , he added indiscernibly , as oif speaking to himself, .....therefore I am not."
A philosopher steps into a nail parlor and asks for a nail job. The girl looks at him and his long yellow nails and says “it’s been a while since you’ve been here, isn’t it?”
So the philosopher says “no philosopher steps into the same nail parlor twice!”
