I would like you all to know that you guys are enablers of my bad habit of acquiring more books than I need (and I love it!).
Several years ago I learned that birds are classified as dinosaurs and ever since I have delighted in saying "the dinosaurs are screaming" or "the dinosaurs are fighting over who gets to sit in the bath" or "look! dinosaur!" (that last one is when a stork flies overhead). And now I am reading a book that encourages me to continue with this silly behaviour.
I also like the hypothesis that snake and lizard and lots of things that supposedly "taste like chicken" don't actually taste like chicken... they all taste like dinosaur!
