Time, they say, waits for no man — or what’s left of his ancestors.
Consider this dialogue between a museum guard and a group of tourists gaping at dinosaur bones in a natural history museum.
“Can you tell us how old the dinosaur bones are?” one asks.
“They are 3 million, four years and six months old,” the guard says authoritatively.
“That’s an awfully exact number,” says the tourist. “How do you know their age so definitely?”
“Well, the bones were 3 million years old when I started working here, and that was 4 1/2 years ago.”
