It's just a stegosaurus.

Yep, this screams "textbook Just a Dino and a Caption".

Motion to pull.

Current is not so bad as it shows a dino with a small head which implies a small brain. Alternatively we could go with something more schematic.

I'd say a weak "keep until better image suggested", since it is an illustration of a very large and bulky stegosaurus with a disproportionately small head, suggesting a small brain (i.e. low intelligence) for a creature so large.

On the other hand, that "better image" might very well be 9.1, which is certainly a more precise illustration of the trope.

9 is certainly much clearer than current.

I don't like 9, but it's better than the current.

9.1, although there's a part of me that thinks a sign saying "SPACE FOR RENT" would be more amusing than just a brain.

It'd definitely make for a good caption.

9's a major improvement.

We've got enough consensus for 9, so I've put up and tagged 9.1. Recycle the old caption, something else, or leave it be?

I could go with 15 as a caption.

Perfect caption idea in 15. Let's roll with it.

Can someone explain the meaning of 15? I don't get it.

I missed the part where that's my problem.

[up] It's riffing on an old Garfield strip which either showed the inside of Odie's head as an empty void with a "SPACE FOR RENT" sign or Garfield looking in his ear and saying as much...I can't remember for certain ATM. I was actually suggesting that concept for the image rather than the brain in the pic, and I'm not really certain that it works as a caption.

Well, the window for captions is done and gone and 15's got enough consensus, so it's added and tagged. Locking up.
