Maybe dinosaurs merely fashioned their ceremonial headdresses from bird feathers.

I raise exotic chickens - no, no fighting - and they've got the 'saur thing goin' on.

I extrapolate a lot about dinosaur motion and behavior from them, particularly territorial routines.

False alarm. Further research has discovered that the fossil is simply a 1992 presidential convention delegate from the Massachusetts Democratic Party.

Was the dinosaur dressed in a black pantsuit?

Its truly amazing how the human mind can so glibly dismiss obvious evidence when it contradicts pre-established theories. The Therapods were clearly warm-blooded and some of them, at least had feathers. If they didn't give rise to birds themselves, birds and theropods had a very close common ancestor.

The idea of a 40 foot tall T. rex running around in a chicken suit is an amusing picture, however.

They don't even say if it was a boy dinosaur or a girl dinosaur... if it was a boy, I'll bet some girl dino told him his feathers were like just so immature. Girls like to tell boys they are immature.... it's a sign of female maturity.

"I am not impressed," said Storrs Olson, senior zoologist at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History and an ardent critic of Norell's work. "I would want to be very certain that the fossil has not been deliberately salted with feathers from some other source."

Is this to say a Chinese paleontologist put chicken feathers in the dino's grave 129 mil years ago?? Fiendishly clever.

I wonder if he spiked his feathers with mousse and walked around with his dino boxers showing above his dino jeans listening to dino rap music?

Haven't Chinese archaeologists previously faked the bird-dinosaur missing link by combining fossils from different species? That may account for his skepticism/
