[history]
Paleontologists working in China say they have unearthed the first fossil of a dinosaur that appeared to have mature feathers identical to those of modern birds, including long, showy plumage on its tail and hind legs.
The U.S.-Chinese research team said the 3-foot fossil should settle once and for all the debate over whether birds and dinosaurs are related.

A creature that might have feathers on it's tail...about 3 feet long....there is NO chain of evidence it evolved from anything, nor is there any chain of evidence anything evolved from IT either !!

In all seriousness (unlike the last post of mine), you are absolutley correct. If memory serves me, it was a rather lame attempt.

A dinosaur could easily have had feathers for insulation, but not flight feathers. Gigantic difference; the one could not plausibly evolve from the other. The evidence appears to indicate, however, that the one might have been re-engineered from the other.

Damn. All this time we've been envisioning giant grotesque lizards and they turn out to be like giant versions of the Philadelphia Mummers.
To: xsmommy
why are you pinging by sex?No particular reason. Why are you nervous about it?

To: Harrison Bergeron

Hmmm? What's so hard to imagine about feathers on a long, bony tail? We've been finding those since the 1860s.
To: ZULU
It's probably a good thing that they are extinct. Can you imagine the problems cleaning your car of dinosaur crap after it sat in the sun all day. Whew!
To: Doomonyou
We have albino peafowl here at a local zoo.
