That is crazy. That is flat-out crazy. I wish you good-afternoon.

Sure, I'm trying to be a scientist. So if you can manage to make me eat my 
words, I will eat them, complete with public apology and all. It's just not 
going to happen is what I'm trying to say. *Casineria*? That stain on an 
Early Carboniferous rock that might be somewhere close to amniote ancestry 
according to the optimists, perhaps something like crown-group tetrapod 
ancestry according to the realists, and completely undiagnostic beyond 
"limbed vertebrate" according to the pessimists? Please.
