On a more serious note, if their predecessors had been unable to discern immobile objects, their habit of walking into trees and straight off cliffs would have seen to it that no Tyrannysaurs happened in the first place.
While she's busy turning your head into hairy hamburger, the rest of us will be joyfully disregarding your self-evidently untested advice as fast as our little legs can carry us.
Birds too, I believe, cannot see things that do not move, and birds are believed to be whats left of dinosours as they evolved to today.
Strike two: birds have been discovered fossilised contemporaneously with dinosaurs - as the word is defined by paleontologists rather than by Disney - and hence cannot reasonably be said to have evolved from them.
Got any other urban myths you want to mention while we're on air? (-:
Funny also how no matter how many chicks you throw at the problem (well... except for RAR), they can't turn on a dime... but most of them are reliably turned on by a dime - or enough dimes.
If we could have a go at putting monitor (or insert fave reptile here) zygotes into ostrich eggs (or insert favourite host here) starting now and using fresher zygotes, we'd be better informed about how to proceed for when we do find either a viable zygote or enough genetic material to assemble one.
Yes, I know the odds are mad-crazy against a zygote ever being found, but a week ago y'all would've said the same about recognisable T Rex marrow, wouldn't you?
A T.Rex egg is not much larger than an ostrich egg. A newly hatched Rex is two point something inches tall. An ostrich egg has about 20x the volume of a checken egg, so it would make it a pretty memorable omelette. An ostrich could easily incubate a T Rex egg, but there might be some disagreements about the post-hatching menu hatching.
True birds have been found contemporaneously with dinosaurs of the Rex genre, so it's not looking good for the dinos-to-birds enthusiasts like Ryan at the moment.
...one of the updated kernels, 2.6.8.1-12mdk, caused some machines to get all crashy. Updating them to 2.6.8.1-24mdk a few days later made it all shiny and good again, but it was an uncomfortable feeling while it lasted. Other than that, Mnadrake've been pretty good about reliability and pretty quick with working updates.
When Debian has an installer as point-and-click easy as Mandrake's (or better), makes their package management a little more intutive (some of the "not installed" status and stuff is kind of newbie-opaque) and and ships a few other userland-ish tools, I'd happily switch to that.
To put it another way, I can leave some fairly thick people in charge of doing or maintaining a Mandrake installation and the odds are good that nothing tragic will happen. If the day arrives when I can say the same about Debian, I will prefer it.
...claims to smoke a pack a day and actually smokes two. Your call. (-:
In other news, yes, I believe the additives make the problem much worse, like so many food additives, however smoking is such an unnatural act in the first place. Only Cash McCall would want to reduce his food to cinders before ingesting it.
...for the entire flight, I have no problem with that.
Nothing so annoying as smokers who:
gather at the very edge of no-smoking areas, typically at doorways, so you're guaranteed to get inundated in smoke and tar in the way through; or
stub out a cigarette, walk back in to the building and breathe bitumen into your face; or
smoke in an enclosed area (e.g. under an awning to keep out of the rain) and/or with lots of other smokers and re-enter the building radiating burnt foulness from every square inch of their hair and clothing.
This used to happen on trains as well in the UK. You travel without a ticket and if you get away with it maybe 5 times, if you are caught and fined on the 6th occasion, you're still better off than you would have been if you were buying tickets each day.
Didn't they stop that by formally arresting, carting off and warrant-checking every offender?
ISTR something about risk-takers who would ride without a ticket being highly likely to be wanted in connection with other things, too. And the time, embarrassment and discomfort spent near clink while the paperwork was sorted out would be a considerably greater incentive to honesty than the actual fine. And the risk of being warrant-checked and winding up really in clink should keep a lot of nasties off the trains, too.
Both Oz and EnZed have explicit provision in their Constitutions for North Island and South Island to be described as states belonging to the Federation of Australia.
King Cnut I ("The Great") had advisers who kept telling him he was more or less a god. The beach incident was set up by Canute to teach is advisers (who were also present) some humility and self-restraint.

I think that's about as close to a rational explanation as you'll ever get.
The Polskas have to have a sense of humour. Couldn't have survived what they have survived without it.

An RSJ would have a much greater effect, but it's harder to wield accurately.

9.1 does that, 9.2 does it well, and they're now up to seven CDs of gumpf in the official version.
OTTOMH, the main Debian repositories for fauxSarge are up over 7GB anyway, which is ~10 CDs worth of gumpf. (-:

First offence: Monopolisation. Fine $5M/day.
Second offence: Contempt of Court. Fine $50M/day.
I think Sj0 just earned some.
State-run everything just sucks, but you do need some basic infrastructure to be state-guaranteed.
