In an episode of the Canadian sitcom Corner Gas, one of the
characters asked
if the other had heard of recent discoveries that small bodied
dinosaurs had
feathers, and the other said something to the effect of "I've
organized my
whole life around it."
Amusingly, I know plenty of people for whom that wouldn't be a
sarcastic
statement... :-)
In a past episode Tracy is asked by Kenneth to take care of
his pet bird and Tracy responds that since birds are
dinosaurs doing so would not only be cool but brave...or
something along those lines.

In tonight's espisode of 30 Rock the Tina Fey character is walking
into the Alec Baldwin character's NBC office when her startled
response to the presence of a real peacock is to
automatically exclaim "living dinosaur!"
in a
frightened derogatory manner. It's both cool AND
technically accurate.
