Ahhh! But we all know the real reason, don't we? George W. Bush's tax cuts for the "rich."

However, at this earlier time there is no evidence of any asteroid impact.

True to Darwinism. Just a "guess."

I thought it was the Internal Combustion Engine.

[KellyAdmirer]

No, no, no, it was the meteors, that's what the big brains keep trying to cram down our throats about everything these days.

[woofie]

I thought it was SUVs

I'm just glad they are extinct no matter how cool it would be to see them alive. I think they would be more than a handful for humans. Monitor lizards, perhaps crocs and gators I think are the closest we have to dinosaurs and I would never want to come across one of those in my backyard. Those examples would be babies in comparison.

Did they discover some real unusual carvings at Pompeii?

[LiteKeeper]

Try lot's and lot's of water, covering the whole earth!

[Consort]

Man, when we finally find out wht happened to the dinosaurs, we're really goin to......what are we going to do?

[Conservative4Ever]

Actually, I think it was all planned obsolesence. Dinosaurs had to all die off at that particular time so they would be petrolum now for all of our SUV's. Somebody way back then did the math.

Hey, you dropped your pocket protector!
Zuuuuuuup!

I'm still on the "giant asteroid hits" theory. That's one huge crater that helped create the Gulf of Mexico.
