Goons, why did you stop "poasting" its like someone shutoff the forum tap.
Don't you guys care about coad no moars? Did you all get banned or something? I bet that ***** pic did it or maybe it was the raptorjesus Thread.
Inquiring minds want to know.

Well they are cold-blooded creatures so will be subject to the vagaries of the weather and seasons. So I guess in a way they do obey daylight savings. Could be wrong though I r 2 nub to know for sure. Jesus will know though he was around at the time.
Hope that helps.

Reminds me of the Bill Mahr intro for the COnservative History Channel with Jesus riding a dinosaur.
Btw, seriously, didnt most scientists conclude they were in fact warm blodded?

Does it matter? It just varies on how the blood is heated, endothermic and ectothermic.
Can't we just chalk it up to Jesus's devine will?

Originally by: Wikipedia, source of all wisdom on the internets
Physiology Main article: Physiology of dinosaurs A vigorous debate on the subject of temperature regulation in dinosaurs has been ongoing since the 1960s. Originally, scientists broadly disagreed as to whether dinosaurs were capable of regulating their body temperatures at all. More recently, dinosaur endothermy has become the consensus view, and debate has focused on the mechanisms of temperature regulation.
After dinosaurs were discovered, paleontologists first posited that they were ectothermic creatures: "terrible lizards" as their name suggests. This supposed cold-bloodedness implied that dinosaurs were relatively slow, sluggish organisms, comparable to modern reptiles, which need external sources of heat in order to regulate their body temperature. Dinosaur ectothermy remained a prevalent view until Robert T. "Bob" Bakker, an early proponent of dinosaur endothermy, published an influential paper on the topic in 1968.
Modern evidence indicates that dinosaurs thrived in cooler temperate climates, and that at least some dinosaur species must have regulated their body temperature by internal biological means (perhaps aided by the animals' bulk). Evidence of endothermism in dinosaurs includes the discovery of polar dinosaurs in Australia and Antarctica (where they would have experienced a cold, dark six-month winter), the discovery of dinosaurs whose feathers may have provided regulatory insulation, and analysis of blood-vessel structures that are typical of endotherms within dinosaur bone. Skeletal structures suggest that theropods and other dinosaurs had active lifestyles better suited to an endothermic cardiovascular system, while sauropods exhibit fewer endothermic characteristics. It is certainly possible that some dinosaurs were endothermic while others were not. Scientific debate over the specifics continues.[38]
Complicating the debate is the fact that warm-bloodedness can emerge based on more than one mechanism. Most discussions of dinosaur endothermy tend to compare them to average birds or mammals, which expend energy to elevate body temperature above that of the environment. Small birds and mammals also possess insulation, such as fat, fur, or feathers, which slows down heat loss. However, large mammals, such as elephants, face a different problem because of their relatively small ratio of surface area to volume (Haldane's principle). This ratio compares the volume of an animal with the area of its skin: as an animal gets bigger, its surface area increases more slowly than its volume. At a certain point, the amount of heat radiated away through the skin drops below the amount of heat produced inside the body, forcing animals to use additional methods to avoid overheating. In the case of elephants, they are hairless, and have large ears which increase their surface area, and have behavioral adaptations as well (such as using the trunk to spray water on themselves and mud wallowing). These behaviors increase cooling through evaporation.
Large dinosaurs would presumably have had to deal with similar issues; their body size suggest they lost heat relatively slowly to the surrounding air, and so could have been what are called inertial homeotherms, animals that are warmer than their environments through sheer size rather than through special adaptations like those of birds or mammals. However, so far this theory fails to account for the vast number of dog- and goat-sized dinosaur species which made up the bulk of the ecosystem during the Mesozoic Era.
It seems that the evidence is not conclusive either way.

Quote: Hi, i have been wondering for the longest time how dinosaurs had sex?!?! Ive asked just about everybody, but i havent gotten an answer. They seam too large to have sex like humans, and their tails would get in the way for doggy-style . . . PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!!!!!
Sure thing. Just promise me you'll get those meds adjusted. A 1999 book squarely addresses your question: Kenneth Carpenter's Eggs, Nests, and Baby Dinosaurs: A Look at Dinosaur Reproduction. Ken, whose love of dinosaurs was sparked by seeing Godzilla when he was five, appeals to both scholarly and general readers in his book, which was published by Indiana University Press. On the one hand, we find all the academic trappings--charts, drawings, a learned bibliography. On the other hand, chapter five is entitled "How Dinosaurs Did It." Just what you'd expect from a guy who was a contributor to The Official Godzilla Compendium. No lie.
Still, you can have too much of a good thing. Early in the cited chapter we read, "The gonads . . . of both birds and reptiles are confined within the body so it is safe to assume the same was true of dinosaurs. With nothing hangin' in the breeze . . ." (my emphasis). Ken, compadre, I admire the colloquial style. But let's not get carried away.
The preceding quote answers the question, were dinosaurs hung like . . . like . . . well, we mammals lack an adequate point of comparison. Anyway, they weren't. Fact is, we aren't certain the dinosaur had a ***** at all, and if he did it was probably concealed. Dinosaur copulation was most likely accomplished by means of "kissing cloacae." The cloaca is the all-purpose body cavity that reptiles and birds use for copulation, urination, and defecation. You can see where this might reduce the romantic potential right off the bat. (Then again, maybe not.) One brings the cloacae of the partners into apposition; the ***** or hemi*****, if any, extrudes from the male and is inserted into the female; and the generative material is translocated. Ken theorizes that dinosaur pudenda were similar to those of modern crocodiles, so we'll assume the males had *****es, like crocs.
Sounds simple in principle, but given mass times acceleration, etc., one suspects that the potential for disaster rivaled Soyuz docking with Mir. For starters, as you point out, there's the issue of tails. Some have proposed a "lizard model" for dino sex: the male approached from the rear and twisted his tail underneath the female until their cloacae met. Ken reproduces a drawing along these lines by Beverly Halstead showing two mating diplodoci with tails charmingly entwined. But he considers this scenario anatomically unlikely--the typical dinosaur tail was held rigid for balance and could not easily twist.
Instead, Ken proposes what we might call housecat-style sex. The female squatted on her forelegs, raising her rear end and pushing her tail to one side, exposing her cloaca. The male mounted from behind and to the other side, supporting himself with his front legs on her back, possibly with one rear leg held off the ground to permit a closer conjunction of the organs.
I guess it would work, although having studied the illustrations of hypothetical dinosaur couplings I still think you'd want one of those taxiway guys at the airport with flashlights. Ken concedes as much. "How Stegosaurus, with the big plates on his back, managed to have sex is really not that difficult," he writes. "Again, with the female squatting in the front while standing on her hind legs, the male could easily rest his forelimbs on one side of her broad pelvis. More difficult to imagine is how the 150' long, 100+ ton Diplodocus-like sauropod Amphicoelias mated. Perhaps when the animals grew to that size, they had already passed their reproductive years." C'mon, Ken, have the courage of your convictions. Every day at the mall we see humans of dinolike proportions. Yet somehow they reproduce. Where there's a will there's a way.
