en The whole thing had become circular -- birds are dinosaurs, so whatever we find on dinosaurs that looks like a rudimentary feather has got to represent the origin of feathers.

en The thing I love about dinosaurs is that they are on that balance point between fantasy and reality. It might be hard to believe that mermaids and dragons really existed, but we know that dinosaurs did- we can see their footprints and skeletons but we can't photograph them or see them, except in our imagination.

en In the broad picture, a heck of a lot of those things that look like dinosaurs, like in the Triassic (Period), either aren't dinosaurs or they deserve a closer look.

en Dinosaurs have been incredibly popular for decades. So many kids and adults -- who sometimes don't admit they love them -- love dinosaurs, there's no question about it. There's also no question that really dazzling movies like 'Jurassic Park' and 'Lost World' raise a lot of interest.

en You believe the world's 12 thousand years old? "That's right." Okay I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready? "Uh huh." Dinosaurs. You know the world's 12 thousand years old and dinosaurs existed, they existed in that time, you'd think it would have been mentioned in the fucking Bible at some point. "And lo Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus...with a splinter in his paw. And O the disciples did run a shriekin': 'What a big fucking lizard, Lord!' But Jesus was unafraid and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw and the big lizard became his friend.
