Volcanoes may have choked Earth, helped dinosaurs

Low oxygen levels could have triggered two giant extinctions hundreds of millions of years ago, allowing the dinosaurs to reign supreme over the ancestors of mammals, U.S. researchers said.

Dinosaurs first appeared during a long period of low oxygen and therefore developed highly efficient breathing mechanisms that allowed them to thrive while many other species became extinct.

That is a scary thread, never, please never point me to one of those again, although the post itself was excellent, the thread was downright terrifying.

Thanks

[Junior]

Absolutely frabulous!

[VadeRetro]

Not exactly a science roundtable there, was it?

[VadeRetro]

I'll never see a manxsome Jabberwock whiffling and burbling through the tulgey wood, all because of some beamish boy!

Funny that more Christians worship form a bible different than yours. Have you ever studied the history of the canonization process? Perhaps you owe it to your God to study what he's revealed through history as well as what's been revealed in your limited view of history as documented in your 66 books!

[Ogmios]

No, it was full of all kinds of garbage that had nothing at all to do with the discussion.

I can see some fun things going on, jokes, silly stuff, but those were just outright attacks and demeaning people just to demean them. That was awful, and ALS and Jesse seemed to be feeding off of each other. If that is an example of ALS, thank goodness he's gone. It added nothing to the discussion at all but to anger people and demean those who disagreed with him.

Been done.

I thought that thread had been pulled!

[Ogmios]

Guess not, looks like it should have been though, it was revolting.

It's typical of what we lived through in those days. Most of the disruptive vermin are banned. They have a handful of devotees who are still here.

But is it wildly rectangular?

[gcruse]

There's something to be said for theories that start out with some physical evidence. It helps direct the inquiry and gets rid of a lot of silliness up front.

Most of the disruptive vermin are banned.

Seems that cannot be true, since you made the comment.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. - Proverbs 15:1

[Ogmios]

And don't they know it, they seem to be rather good at it, it keeps getting them banned, but they do it anyway.

Woohoo, everybody run!!

Reminds me of that part in Ice Age, where all those crazy Dodo's are following each other over the cliff, into the crater, etc, etc. Thai Quon DODO!!

Obviously, hypocrisy has evolved into an advanced state.

[Ogmios]

I wouldn't know.......

[HalfFull]

Of course you wouldn't, Aric.

[Ogmios]

You are a little obsessive, you might want to get that checked out.

Does it upset you to think that I might be Aric? If it does, all the better for me.

Have a wonderful evening...LOL

[HalfFull]

you too, Aric.
