"If you have a velociraptor in your kitchen, it's more of an opportunity, than a problem."<br>That comment needs to go into the script for a dino movie.

As a kid in the 60's, before we knew about the meteor impact, I read that all the dinos died "overnight". I spent the next decade believing that one day, all the dinosaurs went to bed at the same time, and died in their sleep.

I have never before heard this explanation for T-Rex having tiny arms. It makes a long of sense.

"Science is not a belief system, and Science does not require your belief." There are many people in my life that I wish would understand this statement.

So as an ex academic clinician or kind of blue collar scientist, Dr. Lacovara said something quite profound. “Science is not a belief system.” I haven’t heard it phrased that way but it’s a very important concept.
