I changed my middle-name to Freeones
probably a freaking meteor.
all the evidence of fossil records leads to that
as does this:

NERD ALERT:
Meteorite. Meteors don't make contact with Earth's surface.
Heh, pretty dickish, no?
I'm weird. I really have no problem seeing birds as dinosaurs. I had turkey lasagna for Christmas dinner and, honestly, I like the idea of dinosaurs, sauce and noodles.
If we ever do gain the ability to "clone" dinosaurs, I predict disappointment. Giant birds with teeth sound cool, I guess, but I think I'd much rather fly than scare away smaller dinos from carrion. The T-Rex was a giant crippled crow. Nothing more. Nevermore.
