Re: Dinosaurs on Millionaire!!!

[christian farrell kammerer <cfkammer@midway.uchicago.edu>]

Well, the funny thing is is that there IS a _Regisaurus_!!! _Regisaurus
jacobi_ is one of the "scaloposaurian" therocephalians, small carnivorous
therapsids of the Late Permian and early Triassic. Of course, I sincerely
doubt that the makers of "Millionaire" knew of this creature's existence
when they wrote the question.

Sincerely,
Christian Kammerer
