Is it so wrong for a dinosaur to want to accessorize?

Some of them look like gigantic wild turkey ancestors.. but in all seriousness, this is a fascinating find.

Did you know that by looking at fossilized feathers and skin of dinosaurs under a powerful microscope, scientists can determine the color and pattern that they had in life? I thought that was brilliant. I'll thank Dr. Alice Roberts for sharing that tidbit!

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone.

I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
