They do have a fundamental point. Confederates and republicans pass as antiquated lifeforms that should not have survived their conception……..

We should know. We have a dinosaur for a Prime Minister.

A true descendant of the Piss-off-o-crapton……

And until Seppos go extinct this will be true.

Could dinosaurs survive in our current environment?, wasn’t the oxygen content of the atmosphere higher back 6000 years or so ago, plus I wonder if the plant eaters could eat modern plants

There are still some Cycads around.

There were non-avian dinosaurs for a long time, from about 231 million years to 66 million years ago. There was a peak in oxygenation centred on 300 million years ago, but by the time the first dinosaurs arose this had abated. There were some relatively minor wobbles in oxygen partial pressure during the dinosaur era (plus or minus 10%) but that shouldn’t kill anyone stone cold dead.

I ain’t no botanist but note that there is a huge range of plants around now including some groups that, seemingly, have changed little since the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs.

How come no-one noticed that:

I suspect that The Rev looked at the 6000 years and took it out of context.

I was wondering if anyone would notice, isn’t that how we coexisted with dinosaurs or did humans exist 65 million years ago which is even more of a stretch
