Walking with monsters lists Pterygotus as being 3 meters long, and the largest of the arthropods
But, with searching I found that Pterygotus is listed as reaching 1.6 meters and Jaekelopterus was the largest arthropod reaching 2.5 meters.
But at the same time I can't find any source that lists that as an inaccuracy in walking with monsters (There are lists of inaccuracies of the documentary and none of them list that)
So, was Pterygotus the largest arthropod, or was it Jaekelopterus?

Oh I do but for every person who jokes about it, there's 12 people who ask if Sakurai is going to post something special on a Western/American holiday. In the past year, Sakurai recognized two: Christmas Eve and Valentine's Day (which really surprised me) but people keep asking anyways for some reason.

Now watch, Sakurai's troll attitude will kick in and Independence Day is the only holiday to get a reveal, leaving the Japanese to think "INDEPENDENCE DAY? WHAT'S THAT?"

Or the cracker launcher. :awesome: I don't understand why people expect Sakurai to recognize American holidays. We have literally gone through this for every American holiday in the past year.

I just remembered...

Tomorrow's Canada Day, and the Ice Climbers should be revealed in all their parka glory!

Then Canada will finally be confirmed for existing!

neon genesis evangelion is an anime
it received a reboot in an (at this time) tetralogy of films called the rebuild of evangelion; the first three (i.e. the ones released) are titled "Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone", "Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance", and "Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo"

If Pterygotus was 3 meters long, it would be larger

Also, I'm also finding conflicting reports on the length of Arthropleura but GOOGLE boldly states it was 2.1 meters long which would be .4 meters smaller than Jaekelopterus

Wikipedia lists it as 0.3–2.6 meters which would put it at .1 meters longer than Jaekelopterus

Well that 2.6 long arthropleura seems to be the shaq of it's species (Since it's smallest would be .3 meters)

But 2.5 for Jaekelopterus seems to be the "average", since it's JUST listed as 2.5

(Either that or they haven't found enough to make a broader estimate)

It's a good think we're not like our synapsid ancestors

Dimetrodon ate it's young the second they were born if they weren't able to get away in time as an evolutionary mechanic to weed out the weak

A lot of ancient animals didn't eat for a lot of their pregnancy

People talking about July 4th...
I have to bag groceries all day the next day. I'm unable to actually celebrate the holiday.

But seriously, why is anyone expecting anything noteworthy to be revealed Friday? Maybe we'll get lucky and by coincidence a stage will be revealed, but I highly doubt it.
