T-Rex: How come there wasn't science fiction a thousand years ago? I gotta say...
T-Rex: The serfs certainly dropped the ball on that one!
T-Rex: It's weird, isn't it, Dromiceiomimus? I don't see any reason why past dudes couldn't have written stories about what life would be like down the road. Why couldn't they have imagined horses that, when ridden fast enough, travelled back through time and allowed you sass up your parents?
Dromiceiomimus: Maybe they were too busy trying to survive?
Utahraptor: Or maybe you're just being narrow in your definition of science fiction!
T-Rex: Explain!
Utahraptor: Okay, well, nobody was talking about flying cars, sure, but people did conceptualize Pegasus, and that's a friggin' flying horse. Horses being the cars of olden times, remember? Just because Peggy didn't have a scientific underpinning doesn't mean he wasn't the result of people imagining better technologies!
T-Rex: Okay, that's a good point. However! I will not concede until at least ONE ancient manuscript is uncovered that includes the line "Hay? Where we're going, we don't need... hay."
T-Rex: And then the horseman has to flip down the visor of his armour, okay?
