` Hey, I'm just sitting up here in the middle of the night, waiting to go to the airport and I just thought of something else - that photo of the elephant's foot and trunk?
` When I first saw this photo, I instantly thought of an elephant with this coloration.
` I mean, it was supposedly three feet tall... perhaps someone had gone into Loch Ness with a stuffed elephant trunk?
` Jeesh!
` On a related note, my first impression of this photo was that it was the roots of a dead tree that had floated from the bottom of Lake Champlain and erupted from the surface.
` How could that not be obvious? You can see the bottom of the trunk on either side!

` Of course, if you already know what the picture must be...

` Ha ha ha ha! Dinosaurs breathing themselves to death! What will they think of next?

` I know a few people who are creationists - I even know a flat-earther! - though I just discovered that a friend of mine I hadn't seen in years doesn't seem to understand that science does explain evolution perfectly well.
` I spent most of dinner tonight talking with her about it. Basically, she said; "Well, even though the arguments that you've seen clearly don't make sense, the ones I have do!"

` And, of course, I have the same thoughts about terminology as Lotstreetwiz- I've written a lot about this subject, starting here.

Looked at cladistically, there are many dinosaurs alive right now. In most places of the world you can look out your window and see one.

Of course, I mean birds, who are part of clade Dinosauria.

All the best, lotstreetwiz
