Caterpillars (was: Stupid "Theories")

["Simon M. Clabby" <dinowight@yahoo.co.uk>]

In case you're interested, there was a follow-up
article to the caterpillar article in the issue after,
available here;

http://www.doylegroup.harvard.edu/%7Ecarlo/JRL/01/PDF/01-114.pdf

The author of this paper makes the claim that the
previous paper was innacurate, and left many questions
unanswered. As the youth of today would say, "Well,
Durrr!"

Continuing with my hunt for stupid theories, and
running the risk of getting blacklisted, does anybody
know if that theory that's so popular with
creationists about fire-breathing lambeosaurs was ever
published in a proper peer-reviewed journal? You can
answer off list, if you want to remain anonymous. The
same goes for that one mentioned on the list a while
back about projectile vomiting sauropods.
