Not quite. I'm a little leery of that one, but I think there are enough fans of the show here to get it.

Cold, rivka, except for chicken which is on the right track. The concept of "obtains" is in the original and not in your answer.

"The anticipatory descendant of the dinosaurs obtains the modern-day primordial ancestor to the aforementioned dinosaurs."
Funny, I had never thought of birds and worms in this context. Kudos to Dan Raven and his mother-in-law for this fun thread game.
edit:also, what's a better way to obfuscate worms than "modern-day primordial ancestor to the aforementioned dinosaurs"? It's an odd phrase, indicating an existing ancestor to an ancient extinct genus.

The measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues is an instructor which is remarkable in its effectiveness; but it is a sad fact that all those whom it instructs it also deprives of life.

(Don't make me explain that time is NOT the fourth dimension.)
The countenance you possess at the end of your second decade is due to a creative and controlling force of the universe; that which you possess at the end of your third decade is due to the sequence of physical and mental experiences that make up your existence. However, the countenance you possess at the end of your fifth decade is the one you are worthy, fit, or suitable for.

Simply put, if it were, it would be interchangeable with the other three (as they are with each other). It is patently not. It is also patently impossible to measure in the way we measure physical dimensions, or even to move in both directions along it.
Calling time a fourth dimension is useful when dealing with Einstein's equations, but it is an oversimplification, and has little physical reality.

rivka, do you think that the theories that deal with 11 (or more!) dimensions require them to be "interchangeable" (in what you call “physical reality”)? I gave the “modern Physics” context *precisely* because I was thinking about Einstein’s mathematical form of his theory, where time IS (almost perfectly) interchangeable with the other three dimensions. There we can (and would) call it “fourth dimension” as you also admit. As for “going in both directions”, I must note that all physical laws (except the one of “ever increasing Enthalpy”) are *simmetrical* in relation with our beloved fourth dimension.
Simply put, I was talking in a specific context (not claiming a *perfect definition*) and it was promptly “decoded”, so it served its purpose.
But, back on topic:

I see in there “smile”, “love” and the stages (young/adult/old) of one’s life. But I can’t find the exact phrase. Can you give a hint or something?

was supposed to be "Who would win in a fight, an astronaut or a caveman?" which was one of my favorite running gags/teasers in any show (it was from Angel). I guess I should stick to more public domainy quotes.

The face you have at 20 comes from nature. That you have at 30 comes from life. That which you have at 50 is the one you earned.
If that's correct:
After one period of the planet's rotation, I will be cured of my inebriated condition. You, however, will remain aesthetically displeasing.
