" Thanks for clearing that up for me. I always get those two confused. Fly - sky. Got it!"

You're welcome. :)

" No amount of wishing can make a bird fly..."

I never said that. I said make a penguin fly. Pay attention. You were making progress.

" ...but apparently it can make a lizard fly!"

Never heard of flying lizards I take it? http://www.accessexcellence.org/LC/TL/sly/sly_imgWin22.html

A good example of how an *imperfect* wing can still aid an animal.

No, but I had heard of flying squirrels. Thanks for the link. The problem is this. This lizard is an end result. There is no reason to think it is on the way to bird-hood. I would say there is a difference between a mature species that represents a decent match between form and environment and a mutant individual. The picture I saw of the fossil was nothing like that. Your lizard has all four limbs and otherwise looks like a pretty functional lizard. I'll see if I can find it so you can see what I'm talking about. It might be awhile, though.
