It's very unusual weather in July, as it is snowing and every snork is wearing winter clothes. Daffney and Jojo go visit Dr. Gallio to find out what's causing the coldness, and through his shellescope, they see a large iceberg in dry space. After they fail at destroying it althogether, they use a giant magnifying glass to allow the sun's reflection to melt it. Once it melts, they discover a frozen cavesnork. They unfreeze it inside the lab, and his name is Ork. he goes off into town and then causes trouble. Two months have passed, and so Gallio decides to perfect his time machine so that Ork can return to his village.

Memorable Quotes[]

Gallio: Uh, yes, I, I was just about to run a quick check on my weather monitor. *reads it* Chill factor, current drift, ice formation, alright. *it shakes before it prints out a readable document for Gallio* 

Daffney: What's it say?

Gallio: It's C-C-Cold. 

Daffney: *sarcastically* Big help!


Daffney: Well I don't know about that. All I know is that this ice is positively ruining my curls! And I'm cold! *gets in the spot of sunlight in his room* Ah! At least it's a little warmer in front of the window.

Gallio: If we took a bigger hammer -- what did you say?! 

Daffney: I said at least it's warmer --

Gallio: That's it! *kisses her cheek* You're a genuis, Daffney!


Ork: Uh, me Ork. Who you? 

Gallio: Amazing!

Daffney: Eww! 

Ork: Glad to meet you, Mazing and Eww!


Jojo: I'm not sure about this time travel business.

Daffney: Oh, we've finally found something Jojo's afraid of?!

Jojo: No, I, I'm not afraid! Well, not really afraid.


Ork: Ork hungry - take you to best restaurant in village.

Daffney: Good, I'm famished!

Gallio: Good idea, Ork!

Jojo: *stares at Daffnork lovingly* I'm not hungry! 

Ork: Yes, you are! *grabs him*

Errors[]

  • When Gallio says "Its C-C-Cold," there are actually 3 C's before "cold" isntead of 2
  • Jojo says there are 4 pyrannafish heading their way, but it was really 6 pyrannafish
  • When Gallio pulls the lever inside the time machien as they head back home, his moustache is gold
  • At first, the snorks were eating grottofish soup - then Jojo made pyrannafish soup

Allusions[]

  • Blue Stingray is a parody of either Sting or Bruce Springsteen
  • Title is a play on "prehistoric"
  • Alberta Einsnork is an obvious reference to Albert Einstein
