in other words the scientists have no earthly clue what happened.

[InvisibleChurch]

Ever notice how almost all “science” articles include the word “may” in them?

Total BS. Everyone knows that BUSH personally went back in time and killed the dinosaurs. He did it so they would decay into oil.

Insect Attack May Have Finished Off Dinosaurs

Couldn't have happened...there were no Democrats back then.

Well, all I can say about this article is “Bite me!”

Or a worldwide flood.

Sorry. Don’t buy it.
The evidence for the asteroid theory is too overwhelming.

But you can be sure that next week some scientist who is trying to make a name for himself may say “The Dinosaurs died from Herpes”!

Dino had worms?

Great now I have a mental image of a TRex dragging his butt on the carpet.

Uh oh, global warming is going to give us all Lyme disease!

Insects. Okay. Very big insects. But, should we expect to find some of these insects or would chitin not survive the millions of years?

"In dinosaur feces, we found nematodes.."

Global Worming.

[Seruzawa]

Since the dinosaurs all died out regardless of size and the very large reptiles didn’t they really have to come up with another explanation than climate change. As far as ticks go why would the dinosaurs be affected and not their close cousins the birds?

Better get back to the lab, dude.

My money is on the Dileks.

[Eagle Eye]

Is that life size pic of the tick?

If so, no wonder!

“Insect Attack May Have Finished Off Dinosaurs”

Something like bloggers and the MSM.

Ticks are not insects. They are arachnids. Anyway, insects were around long before dinosaurs. Certainly in the long history of dinosaurs, insects wouldn't have waited until the K-T boundary to evolve forms which sucked dinosaur blood. Furthermore, disease-causing parasites which kill all their hosts outright don't survive very long themselves. Virtually all higher animals have parasites, yet they survive. Just finding evidence that dinos had parasites doesn't really prove anything.

And for heaven's sake, don't let anyone clone something from the blood in that tick in the amber.

[Calpernia]

GGG?

[SunkenCiv]

The real explanation? They were MURDERED!!! ;') Thanks blam, I just had a great laugh to start the new year. I'd better add "jurassic park" to the keywords.
