Could they talk too?

Not sure what they would say since crackers had not evolved from the primal dough yet.

But it was settled science!!!

We can’t go back on that now, nor even question/study the issue. IT IS SETTLED SCIENCE!!!!

We need to find out who these racist, bigoted idiots really are and get them kicked out of well wherever they are. And their parents also

Yes. I did. A feather is not a feather unless it’s a feature. Finding a feature of a feather and calling it a feather is not science.

That’s like saying I found a piece of wood floating on the ocean, and it was a boat. Boats can be made of wood, but a piece of wood is not a boat.

Yes. But have they confirmed that you couldn't hear them go to the bathroom?

Actually the what is a woman question is more complicated than I thought. I heard an interesting argument over this question recently. Apperently there are other configurations besides XX. First of all an X chromosome could be damaged. Also it is possible to have XXY, XYY, and related abnormalities. I once met a hermaphrodite. They had experienced serious difficulties in the “straight” world, so took to mostly hanging out with gay people who were less inclined to pass judgement on an accident of birth.

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.

That's what we were taught in Zoology class back in the 70's.

There is a case for making Dinosaurs - Dinosauria a separate class from Reptiles - Reptiles. Maybe over time as more distinctions are discovered it will happen.

Eight euros. Has a sticker on the belly: Holtzheimer Dekoratives.
My wife says it is glass, which is expensive for glass.
I got it at the Wernigerode Castle gift-shop.
This starts my collection of glass frogs.

Nice! Although I'm not sure I'd go there just for the frog, I'll definitely pick one up when I go to see the castle. Amazing spot!
