Raz Science question: Why no tiny Dinosaurs?

[The Brain]

Why aren't you a scientist?

When I was in school the scientist path promised harder classes, many more years in school, and then crappy pay. On the plus side I could look smart whenever topics regarding dinosaur physiology came up, but at the time I didn't think that outweighed the horrors of a biochemistry class.

You better move on. No use wishing you'd done things differently.

[Ideologue]

I find a lot of uses for it.

We're slowly evolving from angry young men to bitter old ones.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Yes.  For some of us though, it is only a difference of degrees.  grumbler and PDH were old when we began this journey.

[garbon]

And some of us have been bitter since birth.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Or angry.

Speak for yourself, I came here fully formed as old and bitter.

[Darth Wagtaros]

I was young and foolish.

[Razgovory]

And some of us have been bitter since birth.

Maybe your mom shouldn't have drank much pale ale during the pregnancy.

Generally speaking AR is right, but I think that one of the dinosaur's primary advantages was the way their hip was constructed; two legs directly underneath the body with a then-unrivaled degree of freedom of movement, allowing for greater dexterity, the evolution of two-leg locomotion, and after a certain size an erect posture makes a lot of sense.

In comparison, all the truly tiny vertebrates I can think of today-rodents, lizards-have a sprawling posture.

Dinosaurs never existed.

[Eddie Teach]

Sure ya do.

[Siege]

I want to have the last word in this thread.

[HVC]

Dinosaurs never existed.

serious question, what do you think fossils are? a test of faith, a misundertanding?

[Viking]

Dinosaurs never existed.

Birds are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs exist today.
