I never realized hearing Morgan Freeman say the word "thagomizer" was on my bucket list. Thank you to the writers of the new documentary "Dinosaurs" for giving my favorite dinosaur an awesome moment.

Get Thagomized, who doesn't love a Stegosaurus ungulatus thagomizing an Allosaurus. Thagomizing is a word right? #paleoart #dinosaurart #thagomizer
" #Thagomizer has since been adopted as an informal anatomical term and is used by the #SmithsonianInstitution , the #DinosaurNationalMonument, the book #TheCompleteDinosaur and the BBC documentary series #PlanetDinosaur."
#Etymology
A cartoon of a group of cavemen. One points at a diagram of a dinosaur's tail with four spikes. The caption reads, "Now, this end is called the thagomizer...after the late #ThagSimmons."
"The term #thagomizer was coined by #GaryLarson in jest. "
It is time for the #thagomizer to rise!
(then drop suddenly as needed)
Top hit for #thagomizer :)
Chunky, Spiky Black, Gray, and Red Necklace, behold, the Thagomizer.

Allosaurus anterior caudal with a partially healed wound congruent with what a Stegosaurus tail-spike puncture would be expected to cause. Centimeter ruler for scale.
Behold! The punctured vertebrae #Dinosaur #Fossil of an #Allosaurus caused by the #Thagomizer of a #Stegosaurus. The spikes (seen to illustrate fit) were used for defense. The thagomized allosaurus survived as evidenced by healed bone. #Science #PaleoSky 🧪 🦕 See: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
#DinosaurDay2025 the collection of spikes on the end of a stegosaurus tail is called a #thagomizer. This started as a joke, from a 1982 Farside comic by Gary Larson. "This end is called a thagomizer... After the late Thag Simmons." However scientists have since started using the word.

“Fintennas”! Maybe not as cool a word as when #garylarson invented #thagomizer - but I think it aptly describes these antenna fin things I keep adding to my bots.
Here is #JimRowBot 066.

Cartoonzeichnung eines Stegosauriers, der verwundert einen gammelnden Höhlenmenschen betrachtet, der an den Schwanzstacheln feststeckt.
Natürlich habe ich Held nichts vorbereitet, aber hier ist mein erster Beitrag zum #Dinovember2024: der Begriff lautete #Thagomizer, und bezeichnet das stachelige Ende eines Stegosauriers, und ist benannt nach dem verstorbenen Thag Simmons, der dadurch sein Ende gefunden hat.
#Dinovember
I'm going to choose to infer that this picture from the Kickstarter of the latest board game I'm backing includes a Thagomizer.

Photo of an Airbus EuroCopter EC155 (tail N911UF, orange and blue livery paint, an air-ambulance since labeled ShandsCair in northern Florida. Flight is over a wooded swamp. Notably the tail rotor is fully cowled to prevent fire/EMS/police meeting the air-ambulance at an uncontrolled impromptu landing zone from fatally walking into the spinning tail rotor.
which is why Airbus EuroCopter features fully enclosed (cowled, or ducted) tail-rotor.
(and larger birds feature dual lift rotors, either fore-and-aft or coaxial contra-rotating, avoiding need for tail-rotor entirely, making them easier to control.)
+1 Classical Allusion for mentioning #Thagomizer

Holy crap. The Far Side hasn't been published in 20 years. How the hell have we gotten along without it? #thagomizer
