RE: FARCICAL: Extinction due to "blue balls"

["Eric Martichuski" <herewiss13@hotmail.com>]

A) Not the big new idea these people seem to be claiming.

B) If Birds have chromosomal sex determination, isn't it parsimonious to 
suggest that dinosaurs did too (or, at least, theropods)?  ISTM that such a 
thing would be an _awfully_ big derived characteristic (if I'm using the 
term correctly).

C) If turtles and crocs survived due to their close association with water, 
then why did all the oceanic mega-fauna associated with dinosaurs die out 
too (especially since some are presumed to be viviparous, yes?)?

D) You can run as complex and detailed a simulation as you want...but if the 
premises are screwed up, then you've failed before you even began.
