Thank goodness that's all. I thought maybe we weren't supposed to use an insensitive term like "dinosaur." It has gone the way of "caveman" and other thoughtless expressions.

Technically, it ain't new. It is just previously undiscovered. ;-D

Jury's still out on the reptile part; they may have been warm-blooded rather than reptilian.
