Woah!  Let's not jump to conclusions!

Seriously, I give it about half an hour before someone suggests that
the "armour" is in fact a sexual display structure.  Just like
ceratopsians horns and frills, and sauropod necks.  And tyrannosaur
teeth.

Quiet on here, isn't it?  Is everyone still hung over from SVP?  And
does no-one have anything to discuss arising from what was presented
there, aside from two of Ken's buddies being tied together and thrown
into a swimming pool?
