  Ha ha, I love that, "mega-stegs". Ken, could you go find us some
mega-stegs?! :) Though I suppose it is possible for *Stegosaurus* to put
on a few more meters, in REALLY old individuals, the data doesn't suggest
it. But that would be wonderful, wouldn't it? A 15 meter stegosaurid would
be an awesome and terrible sight ...

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
