Tyrannosaurus chicken. Hehe

Well, this might settle the bird-dinosaur thingy...

"Dear, there's a dinosaur in the birdbath"

"A new analysis of Archaeopteryx, the earliest known birdlike animal, shows it had feet like dinosaurs — a finding that adds weight to the belief that the birds frequenting backyard feeders today are descendants of mighty ancient carnivores."

Hey, you know what would really be ironic? If the bird flu killed us all and "dinosaurs" outlasted man after all. That would be quite the plot twist.

Thanks for the ping. Good article. I've used the evolution ping list three times today, so I'm reluctant to zing everyone again. But this is good ... I'm mulling it over.

My Aunt Ruth has crows feet.

I want to avoid ping-fatigue. Should I deploy the list for this article?

The other's aren't taking off.

My Aunt Ruth has crows feet.

Does she keep them in a box under her bed?

Hit the list - let's have some science, rather than politics. JMO.

[BigBobber]

Better than having man hands.

My grandmother had a turkey neck. Hmm...I guess that means I'm a dinosaur.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

This one has some meat to it (feet meat to be exact); I say "What the hey!" do it! :)

[PatrickHenry]

Lotta pings today. No more, I promise.

A conservative, pro-evolution science list, now with over 320 names. See the list's explanation, then FReepmail to be added or dropped. To assist beginners: But it's "just a theory", Evo-Troll's Toolkit, and How to argue against a scientific theory.
