Hmm--if they were exothermic, they must have gotten pretty hot!  In fact
perhaps that's why they became extinct!  With more advanced, higher
metabolisms perhaps they all spontaneously combusted!  Perhaps in a few
weeks there weren't enogh left to successfully breed.  Perhaps Billy
Saul-Huroc and Big Jim McBob had something to do with this?

(Exothermic dinosaurs---this is an exciting new theory---how come we
haven't heard of it before now?  Just not enough evidence?)
