>>>As a matter of fact. Keith, we don’t know how far back Humans go, nor how close in time to ours the dinosaurs were. Depends, anyway, on what you call a dinosaur: some people think the birds belong to that group.

Well Bishop Usher notwithstanding, we can’t pinpoint the first man down to the week and month. But we know men weren’t around 65 million years ago.

I appreciate the stretch of the birds though. That’s an amusingly good point. But the question was mankind and dinosaurs, not mankind and dinosaur’s evolutionary successors.

People shouldn’t take too seriously what they see on the Flintstones. Olbermann is a smug ass but it’s hard to defend Texas on this one. The numbers on the question are sadly embarrassing for the state.

Indeed, sharks, turtles, alligators, and bowfish are just a few examples of living “dinosaurs”...we still live amongst them.

But we don’t know that dinosaurs weren’t around a million years ago. I mean the crocodile has survived a long, long time. The next spade made turn up the remains of that non-T-rex dinosaur.

I would wager that a higher percentage of Obama voters can’t find Texas on a map, even the ones that live there.

We’re not really sure what Olbermann’s goal here is except to rile up a bunch of people…

Apparently Olbermann needs no reason other than that.

Olbermann aside, the idea that man and dinosaurs coexisted is shared by idiots and those who think that the Flintstones is a documentary.

You got me there. Normally when I speak to controversial polls I note “if the polling is correct”, which this time I neglected to do.

However I would not be surprised if the poll is accurate. There have been other polls referenced on FR that show amazingly high numbers of people view the the image of people running from dinosaurs as reasonable.
