Space pile-up 'condemned dinos'



A colossal collision in space 160 million years ago set the dinosaurs on the path to extinction, a study claims. An asteroid pile-up sent debris swirling around the Solar System, including a chunk that later smashed into Earth wiping out the great beasts.

I really don’t know what all the confusion about this is.

The dinosaurs did not die from a magical "alien" space rock, they OBVIOUSLY all decided to leave on space ships that they constructed to get away from the Carbon Life Form Infestation. Now you may be thinking, wasn’t the Dinosaurs also carbon based life forms? NO!!! Of course not silly, they were robots!

you scientists and your silly theories!

So is this what Doug Adams wrote about in "So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish", but he used 'Dolphin' as a metaphor for 'Dinosaur' ??

Oh don't be silly! That was merely the Earth being destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Smile

How ironic that man would become extinct if it wasn't for the double bypass Rolling Eyes Wink
