      Kind of. They only have 2 legs, so they’re not as stable as a traditional mount, but they get up to 300 pounds and can run almost 45 mph, so their legs are certainly strong enough to carry a 120-ish pound woman slowly around a safe enclosure. It’s not really practical, but it can be done.

      Of course! But if you fly into another person on their mount, make sure you’re above them. Also, watch out for lava, don’t let the eggs hatch, and aim for the mouth of the pterodactyl!

    Well, if one were to venture deeply into the complex tapestry of evolutionary biology and the myriad pathways that nature has sculpted over eons, there might arise a peculiar yet intriguing hypothesis. You see, drawing parallels between women and the ostensible appearance of an ostrich might initially seem like a stretch. However, when you truly immerse yourself in the intricacies of Darwinian selection processes, you begin to appreciate the subtle forces that shape our phenotypic expressions. Now, the lobster, as an example, is a fascinating creature, primarily because of its hierarchical social structures and the neurotransmitter systems it shares with humans. Drawing a connection between these two disparate entities — the ostrich-like appearance and the lobster — may seem tangential. Yet, in the grand scheme of evolutionary narratives, it prompts us to ask profound questions about our genetic predispositions, the interconnectedness of life, and the underlying patterns that govern our very existence. It’s essential to approach such musings with both caution and intellectual curiosity, striving to discern the layers of meaning and the grander evolutionary tales they may tell.
