=The Adventures of Kray Tacious and Jer Assic: A Trip to the Spa =

Here lies the epic growth story of the almighty T-Rex, Kray Tacious, and his humble herbivorous friend, Jer Assic. Kray (yellow) begins his journey as a ferocious dog eating beast, a small beast but a beast nonetheless. Jer (orange), on the other hand, opts for a more civilized lifestyle of hanging with his buddy Kray (post-dinner, of course) in their favorite cactus.

One balmy spring day in the Mesozoic, Mr. Tacious decided to test out the new package at the spa on the next cinder cone over. Rumor had it that the treatment (Seattle Spring room temperature water) would make him grow to almost 4x his original size. Being the king of the dinosaurs often got to his head and Kray loved the idea of being even better!

Meanwhile, Jer had decided to visit the hexxa old skool spa in his own neighborhood. As a lowly herbivore in the tree of life, Mr. Assic figured it might be nice to try out one of these popular growth treatments. Since he's a big fan of those ancient conifers, Jer settled on the distilled pine (a.k.a. gin) package.

Kray's treatment started off strong and slowly tapered until his growth rate was nearly 0 mm/hr. Jer had the opposite experience. He began with extremely slowly appearing results and his growth rate gradually increased.

It appears that good ol' H20 makes a much better bath than gin! Kray Tacious, our fine yellow short armed friend grew from 4.4 cm to 11.7 cm over his 94 hour visit to the spa. On the flip side, our small orange plated friend, Jer Assic, expanded from 4.5 cm to a meager 8.9 cm during the same time period.

Perhaps next time Jer should choose a bath with a higher water content, such as fruit juice! Yum!
