Well then! If we continue at the current rate of about 20 new species a year,
we should be all done in 25 years! To think I'll still be alive when the very
last dinosaur is discovered!

Seriously, though, huh??? What does "groups" mean here? If it means species,
then I just don't see how anyone could possibly think this. I mean, there are
almost 20 times that many dinosaurian species alive *just today*.

Anyone read the paper?
