They still roam the earth, Bill, except now we call them birds. :)
I wonder if they tasted like chicken or turkey, or more gamey like pheasant?
I'd have to say that mere mortals like us will never know. Ostrich maybe?, its pretty ancient.
Evolution has changed almost everything on this planet in the last 70 million years, including us.
"Evolution" as taught in public schools and universities is 6/7 religion, 1/7 science. http://www.ep.tc/problems/59/ is a relatively short 1974
comic
that explains without fractions.
Evolution as taught has 7 meanings, only one of which is proven science. The rest is entirely based on faith in various theories that have not been and almost certainly will not ever be proven. More at http://www.icr.org/ and elsewhere.
I believe it's fine for us to express our opinions on subjects about which
we
disagree in our individual ways. However, if we start to debate evolution versus religion, then I think (or maybe, I believe) that we need to start another thread, if not indeed a separate forum, list, or whatever.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, we're all here for the same reason: that amorphous THAT (which is TDE, Linux, free software, etc.), and I hope that our common interest in THAT doesn't get derailed by disputes.
Anyway, I am comfortable with my own beliefs, and do not feel the need to bring enlightenment to others (unless of course they beg me to teach them, and offer YUGE sums of cold hard cash).

So actually only about three categories (once duplications are eliminated); and these can be reduced to two or maybe three categories: Sci Fi, things to do or eat while watching Sci Fi, and things that interrupt the watching of Sci Fi.
