Shhh D-Rock. In the dino era we all know cute short hair redheads in leather were owning that age. The schools are just too chicken (heh heh) to teach the truth!

Right? Dinosaurs seem to be more like fucking birds than the dragons they used to be these days. Whatever. They will always be the classic ones, although I can totally agree some have totally turned into birds.
Omg Adam came inside my topic!!!

Did you ever wonder why it was so often a buxom muscular redhead in those type of old dino stories or at least the covers of those things?...Not that I'm complaining.
...Or maybe it's just because any old pulp artwork of a warrior woman tuns into Red Sonja in the memories in my head.

And you double posted on top of it. That's pure gold.
No I went to post a second post and it added to that post as an update so I left it as is
Research seems to always find new "discoveries", sometimes even going full circle. After all, Pre-Jurrassic Park T-Rex was a lumbering sloth, and now it's gone back to that again. So you, and the games you play can take whatever interpretation you want and no one can prove you wrong. Well, until some billionaire manages to clone dinoDNA and open a theme park.

I heard they are giving Pluto back too.
I get the feeling a lot of the people that complained about Pluto being reclassified as a dwarf planet would be the same type of people that would probably complain someday when they find 50 other Pluto like objects out there and be expected to memorize them because nobody can come up with a rational reason why Pluto is any more significant or special than the rest of them, and they would annoyed about how they would now have dozens of "planets".
They basically imposed an arbitrary set of criteria of what qualifies as a "planet"... almost specifically so that Pluto wouldn't make the list.
If we're imposing arbitrary rules, then we should just make one that says: If you weren't considered a planet at the time the original Sailor Moon aired, that you don't qualify as a full planet. Enjoy your dwarf planet status.
I don't think the group of the world's top astronomers had some conspiracy to single-handedly demote Pluto, or that what they came up with was just blindly arbitrary and they did it for the hell of it. Scientist tend no to do that. It was more our understanding of our own solar system advanced to the point where what we once considered a full planet was no longer reality. Planets and dwarf planets ended up having fundamental differences, and we discovered Pluto in a time where he had very vague to no knowledge of the objects that lie beyond it. Even if most people don't think about it the reclassification was to help not just the astronomers, but for common people also. It was going to a point where it was going to stop being what people always thought of it thus the change. Like I said so many of the ones that bitched about Pluto being reclassified would also complain about all the other smaller bodies in the solar system being classified as planets, because they wouldn't think of them as one. People can't have it both ways. They wanted it kept the way it was for sentimental nostalgic reasons and not because of logic or empirical evidence.
People shouldn't really morn the loss of Pluto as a planet as much as they should celebrate that humanity now has more knowledge than it did in the past, and we have a better grasp of the actual truth about reality.
I would argue it would not be difficult to come up with a planet classification system that includes Pluto but excludes Eris and Sedna. And of course there are many that would have included Pluto along with the others. I assert that the line was drawn fairly arbitrarily, and it at least gave some consideration that Pluto wouldn't make it. Maybe there was someone who didn't like Hades, IDK. But hey, I'm not an astronomer, so feel free to explain why IAU chose that set of rules that resulted in that cut off. Pure Water freezes & Boils at certain temperatures, that's why they chose 0 & 100 degrees. There are objective reasons for these cutoffs. Why is "clearing the neighborhood" a criteria instead of something else that Pluto would qualify for? Like I said, I don't know, other than it being an arbitrary line.
If there is no solid rationale for the line, then I'm for keeping with tradition, at least in this context. We have multiple ancient cultures (Greek, Roman etc) that have used that definition, so unless there is a pressing or very persuasive reason, IMO I say the criteria should have allowed Pluto to keep it's status. But that's my 2 cents.

Going back and forth on it being a planet is what's most annoying. Fucking pick and stick with it.
