Saw this, for those interested.....not strictly dino related, I know.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - The plant and animal kingdoms actually represent
five distinct groups, according to scientists who announced
discoveries that fundamentally alter long-standing theories about the
evolution of plants. Researchers presented data showing that green
plants, red plants and brown plants (mostly algae and seaweeds),
evolved from three different one-celled plants, and so deserve to be
considered individual kingdoms. The researchers are among 200
scientists from 12 countries involved in the "Deep Green" project, a
five-year effort to reconstruct the evolutionary tree of life for
green plants. See
