Weird how everything was always bigger then...as though evolution first made biiig creatures and then decided to make 'em all smaller again.

I like.. didnt find any of those animals to be very strange. In fact.. they were the run of the mill extinct species.

How about this strange bloke? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,299500,00.html


Johnny Two Shoes... you most likely find there was a large amount of food in one period.. and then there was a mass extinction (asteroid hitting the earth).. and then there was not a lot of food... so those animals that could survive on less food did better.

True...dang asteroid stole my chow

Is it thanks to an asteroid that I am alive today though? there is an interesting thought.

Did anyone ever see the pictures of the stuff that got washed up after the tsunami?

For you to be here, over 1 trillion lifeforms had to get to the age to make babies and replicate. You are special. And you fk over those 1 trillion life forms before you when you commit suicide

I've been enjoying that series on (Edit)NatGeo about evolution.

Wolf/dog -> prehistoric dolphin -> whale
Vilocoraptor -> Gliding feathered Raptor -> Turkey

I've been thinking the exact same thing for a few weeks now

Yes!

So if one big enough asteroid was off course by 1mm some distance back in the vastness of space before it hit Earth I wouldn't be here today

lol I know it is obvious but it's just the thought that feels profound

That's the beauty of life... creatures died off and then new ones came...

No if it was off by 1mm you would have been a girl. If it was of by 10cm you would have been a turkey.
