The age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago, when an asteroid six miles in diameter crashed into what is now southeastern Mexico. The world went up in flames. Dinosaurs, along with the massive reptiles that ruled the sea and the sky, perished as forest fires raged across the globe, dust blotted out the sun, and Earth experienced intense heat, frigid cooling, and then more heat.
Conventional wisdom states that mammalian diversity emerged from the ashes of the mass extinction, ultimately giving rise to our own humble species. But according to a study in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, the story is a bit more complicated than that — and the asteroid that decimated the dinosaurs also wiped out roughly 93 percent of all mammalian species.
"Because mammals did so well after the extinction, we have tended to assume that it didn't hit them as hard," said coauthor Nick Longrich of University of Bath in England, in a press statement. "However our analysis shows that the mammals were hit harder than most groups of animals, such as lizards, turtles, crocodilians, but they proved to be far more adaptable in the aftermath."

The “asteroid” is just code for “SUV”.
It was a giant SUV that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Thanks Utilizer.
This doesn’t explain the Reptilian humanoid super-race that runs the world from the shadows. Or does it? Paging David Icke...

Anytime, mate!
Cheers!
Like they shouldn't? I particularly resent the fact that I might live until I'm 85 instead of dying at 40 from a bacterial infection.
