4-Winged Proto-Bird Unearthed In China; Predates Archaeopteryx
Wired reports on a find described September 24 in a note at Nature and the day after at the annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology: a dinosaur fossil bearing true feathers on four limbs. The fossil was discovered in northeastern China, in strata believed to have been deposited between 151 million and 161 million years ago.

Are you kidding? The story comes 151 million years after the fact! And that wasn't even the release date!
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
The really depressing thing is the article comments. It seems the Creationists found out about the article, and are pinging the bejeezus out of it in the comments.
