    Or the rexes mourning their own fate and that of their curled-up baby rex in its nest as Chicxulub hurtles toward them in their final moments.

      Dude. You need to paint this. It’s a perfect art project. Make sure the outline is clearly the nativity scene, but color in the dinosaurs…

        Oh. Shit. I want to do that now but am right in the middle of things.

        I’ma let that percolate in the back of my mind until it festers into a compulsion.

    I can’t see what the thing in the middle is supposed to be besides a table saw, but I can’t see the rexes either, just people praying. Why would they pray over a table saw?

              “Birds are living dinosaurs, just as we are mammals,” said Julia Clarke, a paleontologist studying the evolution of flight and a professor with the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin.

              In spite of the physical differences that distinguish all mammals from other species, every animal in that group — living and extinct — can trace certain anatomical characteristics to a common ancestor. And the same is true for birds, Clarke told Live Science.

              “They’re firmly nested in that one part of the dinosaur tree,” she said. “All of the species of birds we have today are descendants of one lineage of dinosaur: the theropod dinosaurs.”

              https://www.livescience.com/are-birds-dinosaurs.html

              Think I’ll go with the paleontologist on this one.

                I am not disagreeing. Birds are dinosaurs. But it’s not a particularly useful way of understanding them for the average person. You might as well be extremely insistent that they’re chordates. Do you remind people that trees aren’t a taxonomic group every time they come up in conversation?
