Ever notice how organic chemists just can't help themselves? They've taken our majestic pterodactyls and turned them into chemical nomenclature fodder. Single bond? Pterodactane. Double bond? Pterodactene. Triple bond? Why not pterodactyne! And don't get me started on the positional isomers. The poor tert-pterodactyl looks like it flew into a blender. The final transformation into phenodactyl chloride is just the chef's kiss of chemical absurdity—when you absolutely need your prehistoric reptile with an aromatic ring and a dash of chlorine. Next semester I'm expecting to see cyclo-pterodactyls and pterodactyl anhydrides on my exam papers.
