Rawr



Poor dinosaurs.

They used to be so awesome.

They used to strike fear into the hearts and souls of critters all over the planet. Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' was their theme song. Not many creatures get that privilage, clomping around to riot-inducing symphonies.

And now look.

Forced to cower under my windowsill during a New York rainstorm like a couple of poor, wet kittens.

How the mighty have fallen.


UPDATE

Looks like these little birds are actually babies. Every now and then a bigger one swoops down and they start sticking their beaks into her mouth like maniacs. Could be they're eating. Or maybe they just like making out.

The funniest post I've read in months.

Dinosaurs aren't birds! Jurassic Park was a lie! Dr. Grant was full of it! Everyone knows that researchers will come up with all sorts of crazy nonsense to secure additional funding.

Take a look at a crocodile. Then look at a turkey. Which one looks more like the skeletons in the Natural History Museum on 79th?

Not the damned turkey.
