Dinosaur Discovered with Feathers!

"New Dinosaur Discovered: T. Rex Cousin Had Feathers

A tiny, earlier cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex sported at least a partial
coat of hairlike feathers, scientists reported today. The dinosaur
chased prey and roamed the lakeside forests of Liaoning Province in
northern China some 130 million years ago, researchers said. (See
pictures of the new dinosaur.)

Although predicted by several paleontologists, the discovery marks the
first time featherlike structures have been directly observed on a
tyrannosaurid. Tyrannosaurids are predominantly large dinosaurs with
short forelimbs that roamed Earth 130 to 65 million years ago.

"It's the kind of thing we expected, but we thought we might never find
a fossil that would justifiably show it," said Mark Norell, who
co-authored a paper that describes the new species. The study appears
tomorrow in the science journal Nature.

Norell, a curator and chair of the division of paleontology at New
York's American Museum of Natural History, said the discovery supports
theories that dinosaurs were birdlike, warm-blooded creatures that
evolved feathers to stay warm-not to fly.

Researchers named the new dinosaur species Dilong paradoxus. Dilong
derives from Mandarin words meaning "emperor" and "dragon." Paradoxus
refers to the unusual feathers found on the 5-foot-long
(1.5-meter-long) carnivore."

Oh no! Just what we don't need, a flying T-Rex!

Double-A I'm so old I can remember when mother plucked dinosaur
feathers before putting the chicken in the oven. My mother made the
best chicken,and it was only 6 cents a pound. It was a male chicken
(rooster),and it had a Jock that with the wings made great fricazy.

Say Bert, I just sold two bottles of wine at Internet auction for
$1,526.00! I bought them twenty years ago for $136.00. How does that
compare with the return on your stocks and bonds and CD's?

Double-A You are a winner. I'm a loser. Iwas getting 850 bucks a month
from my CD but no more I could make about $85,000 if I sell the house
that I bought 19 years ago. That is good but I can't sell it,because I
would have to turn the money over to Tandem hospital. Ruth will come
under medicare in a few more month's,and that is good. Old people have
to die broke. so that doctors and politicians can get rich. Bert

Bert, I am only a winner for a day. This should keep me out of the
gutter for only a couple more months. But the big picture is that I am
very deeply in debt, and creditors are after me every day. But the
game's not over till the final card is played, Bert. Just remember
that.

That wine was a savings for a rainy day, and the rain has surely come!
Nice to always have an ace in the hole! Assets like that, no one needs
to know about. But I'm sure you've also got a few aces in the hole.
You're a clever guy.

Why don't you use a portion of the proceeds to declare bankruptcy and
"clear-the-slate?

I did, it's no big deal, and sure gets the "Bloodsuckers" off your back.
