Somewhere near the end of SVP, I happened to overhear Bob Bakker and 
S. and S. Czerkas talking about _Archaeoraptor_. I said to Bakker 
"Rumours are going around that the thing is a chimera". All 
three vehemently denied this suggestion, and Stephan Czerkas even 
said something about they having done multiple CT scans of the thing 
(and there being no suggestion of forgery). "Must be one of those 
viscious palaeo-rumours", I said.

Sorry if I'm making little sense. I still feel like it should be 2 in 
the morning. Yawn. Jaime, I don't have your email to hand, sorry.
