=========================================

Well, the JP movies do propose a possible 
cause for non-avian dinosaur extinction:
noise.

Every damned animal in all of those movies makes 
a frightful racket at all times.  All they need to do 
is move, and they start squawking or squalling.
Even their >walking< sounds like pile-drivers, 
though anyone observing such organisms as 
elephants knows how quiet a large animal can be
in walking.  

Pursuant to the JP movies, my current theory 
regarding the aforementioned extinction is that the 
dinosaurs made so much noise that 1) the herbivores 
couldn't evade the predators, and 2) the predators 
starved to death after warning all remaining prey 
of their approach far in advance by snorking and 
trumpeting like Ted Kennedy on the Senate floor.  

This theory is even better than the one in which 
tiny mammals ate all the dinosaur eggs, having the 
advantage of the unimpeachable scientific backing 
of Hollywood.
