When I first glanced at this title I thought it was an article about Babs most recent escape from retirement.

The velcro-covered skin was an advantage during mating.

There isn't any way to have an arm evolve into a wing, much less down/insulation feathers evolve into flight feathers. Flying squirrels manage to glide a bit from flaps of skin attached to their arms and legs
A predator who could reach up over his head would be able to climb up a tree, where he could hide and leap down onto the back of prey passing underneath. A smaller predator could bring down a larger prey if he could jump on it from above and get his teeth into the back of its neck before the prey realized what was happening
A pouncing-from-above predator would get a big advantage from any ability to glide on the way down.

"It's a metre-long, meat-eating, ground-dwelling predator, closely related to the dinosaur in Jurassic Park II which ate the little girl on the beach," said Professor Archer. I am really glad I decided to skip that movie. I want to be entertained, not horrified. What a bunch of sick creeps dream up this garbage?

"When I first glanced at this title I thought it was an article about Babs most recent escape from retirement." Your first thought SHOULD have been about Walter Kronkite.

Nice compilation. Some of the links are interesting, too.
This QuickTime Movie of how what they're now calling "fuzzyraptor" used its feathered forearms, just for instance.
