If scientists have found anything at all here, it's a few intermediate steps in some design-change process by which birds were created by scientists or engineers, starting with small dinosaurs. Yet another astounding case where medved used to say the exact same thing before he was banned and you showed up. How does this keep happening?

The velcro-covered skin was an advantage during mating. Birds of a feather stick together.

And it's not as if that particular cluster of delusions can be found on every street corner, is it?

I try to miss a person, and work up some nostalgia for the good old days, but it's kind of hard to miss someone when they won't leave....

Of course, pp will probably claim we're cowards for hiding our identities...

How does this keep happening? Wasn't one of the former poster's claims that the ancients had telepathy? Maybe it's just an atavism.

This rare photo of a Hillaryaurus captures the animal in it's most common state, campaign season.

Look at one or two of the images on this thread and ask yourself, assuming any of these creatures ever lived at all, whether you're seeing a glass half full, or a glass half empty. Or maybe a halfway foreclaw and halfway wing?

OTOH, maybe JediGirl should re-register as MrsJediGirl (or JediWoman or NewJediGirl or...) and see if the powers-that-be ignore her too.

Losing a complex capability does not involve any violations of the laws of probability or statistics. Gaining one doesn't either.

...and the horrendous torrent of spam essays and whacko links is gone. Just wait. Ted can't help himself. He knows he is the sole receptacle of the knowledge of the origins of life on this planet and it is his self-sworn duty to preach the truth to us lesser lights. PP'll be spraying these threads with medvedian malarky within weeks, if not days.

Don't Archeopteryx fossils show up from 125 million years ago? While they seem more like another offshoot that died out than a direct bird ancestor, they are far more bird than anything shown in the article.
How could these be the ancestors of birds if bird-like critters were already around filling this niche? How do we know Sinowhatchimcallet is not a survivor of the Archeopteryx line that was LOSING whatever powers of flight the line had rather than gaining it? This would be analogous to the ostrich situation.
Don't you need bird ancestors to show up BEFORE birds do?
