Why would modern dinosaurs need to build boats when they can fly? They would have no motivation to, therefore they wouldn't.
Keep it serious, Thork. You can troll, but don't be so open. We have standards
Here is up-to-date photographic evidence of a dinosaur travelling on a wooden boat which it has built:
It's no slur if it's fact.

In the same sense that avians are dinosaurs (since they evolved from dinosaurs), humans are fish (since we evolved from them).

Birds on the other hand, are considered dinosaurs through this.By your same logic, humans are also microwaves, since microwaves are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons just like humans are.
I saw a slight haze in the hotel bathroom this morning after I took a shower, have I discovered a new planet?
Besides, perhaps FET is a conspiracy too.
It is just the way it is, you understanding it doesn't concern me.

Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?
Birds are dinosaurs. Strange, but true.
Quote from: Roundy the Truthinessist on September 15, 2010, 11:17:16 PMBirds are dinosaurs. Strange, but true. As it is true that the term "dinosaurs" in everyday language don't include birds. So its equally true that they are not dinosaurs.

So do you have a point?Yes, that birds are dinosaurs. Do your homework. As it is true if you want to be really pedantic and to use strict cladistical definition the common agreement is that in everyday language the term "dinosaurs" means only "non-avian" dinosaurs. And as I am not paleontologist I can quite freely say that if we talk about dinosaurs we don't talk about birds who live in these days. It's just confusing. As would be if I would start call birds the reptiles which is also true in cladistics point of view.
Are you saying we shouldn't be academic and accurate in the way we talk about things?

If not then I don't see the point to dive in the sea of academic terms which are used only in specific scientific texts/talks. Maybe we should not talk about dinosaurs but about amniotes. Or Sauropsida. Or whatever else term we can find. I guess we can confuse the matter quite more and enjoy the mess.
I find it amusing that evolutionary globularists think it is plausible for a fish to start to walk on land and for a wolf to turn into a whale, yet they laugh at the notion of a reptillian relaxing in a floating nest for a few months.
We're all jealous of Raist.

Sauropsida contains groups that are not dinosaurs.Hence the most accurate way to describe what we are talking about is Dinosauria, or Dinosaur.

If you talk who are the dinosaurs but as I see it the talk is also going in that way as what are the birds and birds are in the Sauropsida group. Wikipedia has nice picture with duck and tortoise who both are in the Sauropsida group. So I can talk also about Sauropsida's to confuse the matters more.

We are talking about Dinosaurs so that is irrelevant. It is wrong to talk about Sauropsidas since not all Sauropsidas are dinosaurs.
