Kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?
I’m a scientist. Dinosaurs as such are extinct. According to the geologic record they vanished about 65 million years ago.
What happened, then, to the dinosaurs?
I’m a scientist Jim, not a paleontologist.
But that kinda depends on how you classify dinosaur. Some evidence suggests dinosaurs evolved into birds, so one could arguably say, “Dinosaurs still exist but in the form of birds.”
But then, you could also stretch that argument and say, I had Kentucky fried T-Rex last night or an Allosaurus omelet this morning.
And in which case, I see a flock of dinosaurs every time I visit Leif on the farm.
Reality check, if you can call a Gallup poll reality:
According to a 1993 Gallup poll, 3% of 18-29 year olds and 2% of responders who never went to college believe that dinosaurs still exist. On the other hand, apparently 16% of 65+ year olds believe dinosaurs are a myth.
I have no idea what this post means. It started with a funny quote and it will end with pet burial and aliens.
