In honor of President Barack Obama, a Yale University scientist has bestowed the name Obamadon gracilis on a species of ancient lizard that was less than a foot in length and went extinct around the same time as the dinosaurs. What do you think?


“To think it was only a couple months ago that we were all wondering, ‘Who will win this election so that we can finally name that lizard?’”

“And still not so much as an iguana named after Chuck Schumer. Disgraceful.”
