(My husband and I are both huge nerds, obsessed with anything to do with science and video games. He’s currently playing ‘Skyrim’, a fantasy game with beautifully rendered dragons. I happily note that the dragons actually look plausible. A pet peeve of mine is ‘unrealistic-looking’ fantasy creatures. This leads to a long discussion/argument about how to build a truly plausible dragon via evolution. I, a marine biologist, reference everything from iguana tails to egret necks to various species of bats’ wings and even proto-birds like archaeopteryx, over the last hour to cobble this thing together, but my husband, the physicist, is still unsatisfied.)

Husband: “That’s all well and good, but you’ve only given me possibilities, and things that could maybe fly, given the right size-scale and circumstances.”

Me: “Sweetheart, I would be happy to genetically engineer a functioning dragon in our kitchen for you, but I think I’d end up doing something illegal in the process.”

”Husband: “We’d probably get evicted.”
