T. Rex: "Revolution, like Saturn, devours its own children."
T. Rex: BORING!
T. Rex: You know what else eats its own children? HAMSTERS. Why don't people compare revolution to hamsters?
Utahraptor: Hamsters only do that if they're stressed! Or scared. Or hungry.
T. Rex: Duh! It's the PERFECT METAPHOR. Revolutions won't eat their babies if you give them water and don't handle the young.
T. Rex: And they need a wheel!
Utahraptor: {off screen} T-Rex—
T. Rex: WITHOUT RUNGS!

The author writes:

Your revolution's wheel should ideally be solid, so there's no risk of your revolution getting its feet caught in the gaps, and of a large enough size that your revolution's back isn't arched when running.
