(Avian dinosaurs survived the impact, and eventually gave rise to modern-day birds.)

My kid and I always joke about this when eating chicken... dinosaur... tastes like chicken :)

Strange how insects somehow survived the fire storms and so forth.

The only insects that survived, unfortunately, were politicians.

great. lets adopt him as our mascot.

No spear points, but they did unearth the dino's diary nearby in which he wrote about the cataclysm:

He was the one with the sign on his back that said “hit me”.

That was a crying shame, wasn’t it.

Four dinosaurs survived the 65 Million kill-off:

Larry King
Harry Reid
Jerry Brown
Hugh Hefner

They are now listed on the “Endangered Feces List”

While the team can't determine the exact age of the dinosaur, Lyson said it likely lived tens of thousands to just a few thousand years before the impact. "This discovery provides some evidence that dinosaurs didn't slowly die out before the meteor struck," he said.

So one Dinosaur found proves dinosaurs were killed 10,000 years later even though none are found in the preceding 9999 years or in the impact itself????

That makes as much sense as the claiming woolly mammoths were wiped 10,000 years ago by the Tunguska event in 1906.

The Dino killed by an asteroid hypothesis people are almost as pathetic with their "evidence" as the global warming people are with theirs

Strange how insects somehow survived the fire storms and so forth.

And Alligators even though they were supposedly at ground zero, not to mention parrots, honeybees, sea turtles, phytoplankton, and pretty much everything else you would expect would be the 1st to go under an impact scenario

I'll go with Geologist Dr. Norman Macleod who said it best

"The impact theory says in effect that a rock fell out of the sky and killed everything, except for the things that it didn't kill. I don't think that's much of an explanation."

[count-your-change]

I’m amazed at how many things a meteor can do. Sort of a utility explanation for anything that happens.

[Condor51]

The Impact Theory was nice, until you looked closer, like 'the gap' noted.

So I've switched and now go with Dr. Robert T. Bakker₍₁₎ (pronounced "Backer") who postulates that it wasn't an Asteroid but, a Virus from migrating dinosaurs that slowly killed them all off.

Kinda like the deadly bugs 'migrant' illegals are slowly infecting us with today.

(1) Dr Bakkar was the first paleontologist who brought forth the idea that Dinosaurs had to be warm blooded.

The last dinosaur?

Lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody for my own.
I’m so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely,
wish I had someone to call on the phone.
