What does it sound like when a pterosaur urinates?

Nothing. The pee is silent...

Except they weren’t reptiles. Dinosaurs appear to have been warm blooded. At least according to bone marrow. That’s what a Paleontologist told me when I was at the Cleveland-Lloyd dinosaur quarry in Utah a few years back.

So do they think pterosaur feathers and bird feathers date back to a common ancestral species, or did pterosaurs and birds independently evolve feathers?

Yes, it was wrong to even consider dinosaurs, especially the really big ONES as reptiles. They could not have been cold-blooded, at least not all of them..........................

So science can tell us all about things we’ve never seen alive, but can’t tell us what a woman is.

Last week I was on vacation in Harz Mountains and bought a 150 million years old ammonite fossil for 8 euros.

Well, science CAN tell us what a woman is. It’s just the people who Joe Biden appoints to the highest court in the land who can’t.
