Dinos! One of my fav subjects! I must admit, tho, I've been out of the loop
to. On the Dino/Bird thing, the November Issue of National Geographic is
supposed to have an article about them, including a Dino that could fly. I
could be misremembering, 'cause I saw it on Explorer last night right before I
went to bed. Never knew they had that show on CNBC... Anyway, because of the
new species, many museums are adding feathers to all of their Theropods.
I'm gonna try to get the mag from my father as soon as he gets it, so I'll keep
you informed.

P.S. Craig, what made you decide to go with utahraptor as opposed to one of
the more well known species?
P.P.S What dinosaur has the longest name? (being somewhat behind on the
news, I could have this one wrong. It is a small dinosaur with a one word
name)
