Re: PALEONEWS: New Dino From Mongolia

[Matt Wedel <sauropod@ou.edu>]

Maybe this is only funny because I'm so tired.  But the ABC news site
featured this nugget:

"An artist?s conception of what Byronosaurus jaffei looked like. The small
dinosaur, which lived in Mongolia, may have shared a common ancestor with
birds."

The other possibility being that it didn't share a common ancestor with
birds, and was thus originated independently from the primordial soup?
Now THAT'S news.
