So how it's worth, yeah, 50% more...

And it's not even a particularly complete skeleton, Apex, to my understanding.

I don't get it.

I mean, I'd probably drop...

half a billion or so on the best museum you'd ever seen.

Yeah, but you want to... So it's twofold because...

Yeah, there's the communication and the education part of it, which is something I'm massive on.

And I think research is pointless if you don't communicate it at some level.

I'm not saying everyone needs to communicate everything.

If you're working on the nuances of a calculation of the volume of a black hole or something, yeah, probably doesn't need a press release or a new museum exhibition.

But fundamentally, we should be talking about our work.

But also, you've got to store this stuff.

Um, many fossils are fragile.

They need to be kept, not necessarily in climate control, but at least you want a basement that is much more even than, you know, just sticking it in a box in a warehouse somewhere.

So you've got to be able to store this stuff to be able to study it or it's kind of pointless.

Um, but with the rest of that money, I'd buy a ton of land.

like the quarries that gave us Archaeopteryx in Bavaria and have given us a ton of other stuff.

I've worked on a load of pterosaurs, the flying reptiles from there.

These stuff are mostly commercially run or just straight up privately owned and not being commercially run.

Someone's just inherited it.
