New Feathered Dinosaur
Healthy genes act as team-players. They are teamish!
Their winning plays are salvations of an aliveness of which they are a part.
Only a fraction of genes are selfish/parasitic (and they parasitize teams).

looks like a friggin' macaw doing the karate kid thing....
One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

Why? Because they're colorful? Yeah, well so are the participants in the Mardi Gras parade and the Caribbean parade and the Chinese New Year parade. Would these hideous dino-birds look good at any of those street parties?
You know I'm fucking with you, right?

I have no doubt
I have no experience of the other parades you mention - unfortunately gay pride was the first thing that came to mind

Fascinating Thank you for the link.
My memory may be faulty here: I seem to remember an article in TIME about 30years ago making a link between dinosaurs and birds. IE that dinosaurs were more bird-like (bone structure) than lizard-like

Yeh it's a long time thing. You get vicious bastards, cannibals, murderers, & also the peace loving herbivores. Has anyone else noticed birds are not as wary as they were?
thank goodness he's on our side
