For a moment, I thought Dino Demise was a 50’s doo wop or lounge singer.

Hmmmmm....so it wasn’t a comet that did the dinosaurs in but an evil plot by the mammalian vermin to control the ‘hood...;^

The REAL cause:
Bush did it.
Anthropogenic Global Warming.
Republicans in Congress.
Redneck bitter gun clingers.
And as of this last election ... Ignorant American voters.

I thought it was about Dino Rossi finally retiring.

Funny how the mind works, I first read that as Dom DeLuise.

So it is okay for an animal to become extinct for another will quickly fill the vacant niche and thrive?

couldn’t help myself..first thought that came to mind..ha!

So it is okay for an animal to become extinct for another will quickly fill the vacant niche and thrive? Depends on your definition of quickly. In geological terms, yes. And instead of "animal", insert "entire ecological niche". One species (lions, for instance) disappearing from the African plains wouldn't open up an enormous hole in the ecology, but all of the predators going extinct would.

"For the first 140 million years of their evolutionary history, mammals were basically vermin" So, democrats are mammals that never evolved?

I've always been intrigued by the complete absence of dino fossils at the 65 million year old extinction layer.
Literally, there have been zero dinosaur fossils found in that layer.
I agree, fossil formation and discovery is quite rare.
But you'd think someone would have found something by now if tens of millions of dinosaurs all died at the same time.

“Funny how the mind works, I first read that as Dom DeLuise.”
I have to admit, when I first read it I thought of Dino Martin, and the joke they used to make regarding Carol Wayne not drowning.
Sadly.
