66 million years ago? And the previous 5 took place over the course
of 550 million years? That means we're about due for one in another
40 million years.

How may of those previous 5 extinction events were related to
fartmobiles? And hasn't each extinction event been a huge boon to
lifeforms on earth?

Yeah, I know , these are all rhetorical questions. But it seems
another extinction event would be to Earth's best advantage. There
would be no more fartmobiles and women might finally be able to pee
standing up.
