   Nul points for arkmates' musical "healing"
Dancing for the Dino

Day 34

See the clip of the arkmates' healing attempts by clicking here.

As the Ark's resident T-rex continued to look poorly, the arkmates decided to take desperate action, offering the coughing creature food and drink, and staging an improptu healing meeting.

John the Baptist brought some food for the languishing lizard and then suggested a song and dance to cheer the poor thing up. Despite some doubts ("Martha: John, I really don't think entertainment is what's going to help him"), the arkmates pulled together, praying for healing and then giving a spirited and highly active rendition of John's version of "Wild Thing".

For a while it seemed to work, with the diseased dino, infected by the rhythm, seeming to make a miraculous recovery as it got onto its feet and joined in. But the beast soon became exhausted and collapsed again.

Is this the first sign of a return to health for the ailing antediluvian, or just a last splash? Is our sick saurian for it?

Stay tuned.
