And this has nothing to do with dinosaurs but it has been a very
looooooooooong day, and after reading that, I have to relate one too --

One day I watched a sparrow trying to make love to its reflection in my
car's side view mirror.  This went on for a good 15 minutes or more --
and the worst part was that afterwards it was obvious that the bird had
recently consumed a rather large meal of bright red berries.  Yeetch! 
What a mess -- on the side of my light blue car.
