Be nice? On a Monday? LOL

"All expert agree that birds are related to theropod dinosaurs;"

Any time I read "all experts" on these threads, I become suspicious. I take that to mean if you disagree, you are not an expert. I would think "all" leaves no room for another opinion, which wouldn't be very scientific, would it?

[contemplator]

The pendulum continues to swing. I had just about come to terms with the idea of feathered dinosaurs from an earlier thread. I kept envisioning a T-Rex as "Poultra" (ala Jimmy Neutron).

[dennisw]

I'm pretty sure feathered dinosaurs existed. But this issue can be batted back and forth forever meaning more grants and research positions for scientists.

Jurassic Park was on TV last night. An adult version of the original book would be great

[Cagey]

Everyone be nice.

Are you saying we should be kind to our fine-feathered friends?

[Jim Noble]

Carl Everett, when he played for the Red Sox, said he did not believe in evolution.

"What about the dinosaurs?", he was asked by a sports reporter.

His reply: "I ain't never seen one".

Bird flu wiped out the dinosaurs?

[Proud_texan]

I don't have a dog in this hunt but I had a semi-interest in Ostriches a while back (hehe, nah, I didn't get in on the Ostrich raising fad) and that instead of "All experts agree that birds are related to theropod dinosaurs" there didn't seem to be one mind on the subject at all.

For instance I read that some experts thought that bird characteristics are also shared with crocodiles.

But this was a while back, do all experts now agree on this issue or is the writer stretching a point?

Did feathered dinosaurs exist?


Ask Helen Thomas. She may show you hers.

[Vaquero]

HORSEFEATHERS????? No really, I do believe.

[RogueIsland]

Fascinating and thanks for posting it. However, this paper must be a hoax of some sort. We've been told repeatedly that scientists don't allow any information to be presented that might conflict with existing theory. Is it possible that Feduccia, et el, did not get the memo from Conspiracy HQ?

[Sacajaweau]

Sure....The scientists noticed the middle finger was more extended....Ah, yes...It's a bird!!

[bert]

Scales are modified feathers.

[R.W.Ratikal]

"Do Feathered Dina sours Exist?" Yes, one species still exists.

It is Teddyrex Kennedysouras, also known as "Tedrex the Hut," a large feathered meat-eating predator with folds of armored fat protecting its sides and hindquarters.

TK's thrive lurking under bridges in the fetid swamps of Massachusetts waiting for prey to fall into the water.

Long thought to be extinct, TKs can also be found at watering holes generation after generation seemingly without end.

[Leo Carpathian]

...and they tasted like chicken!
then they formed democRAT party and and that wiped them out.

Vote the bastRATs out into oblivion!

[Mike Darancette]

"Birds are mesotarsal bipedal archosaurs with pennaceous feathers, and a tridactyl avian hand composed of digits 2-3-4."

I always thiught so. (Eyes glassing over)

[headsonpikes]

Did feathered dinosaurs exist?

I'm hoping Senator Swimmer tries to find out Harriet Miers' position on this question during the confirmation hearings. She's certainly left no paper trail!
