Okay...

...Round Up, Part 111.

Okay. How did those MFers ever get off the ground?

"The feathered meat-eating dinosaur lived about 125 million years ago and is estimated to have weighed a whopping 1,400kg as an adult."

[---]

"The scientists think the long, filament-like feathers would have acted as insulation, but they cannot rule out the possibility that they were also used for display in mating or fighting rituals."

I don't know. Do you think the lady dinosaurs would have been impressed? Looks kind of wimpy to me.

They say women's work is never done, but holy smokes!! (Pardon the pun.)

Human ancestors used fire earlier than thought, study says

"An analysis of charred bones and plant ash in sediment from a South African cave suggests that Homo erectus was wielding fire a million years ago — and perhaps even cooking with it, according to a study released Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

Moving on. There are so many songs linking moonlight with romance, but I'll bet you there's none about these baby moons.

Finally, although there is a lot of skirting around it, these two articles do seem to suggest discoveries that clinch the CAGW argument:

CO2 'drove end to last ice age'

New comparison of ocean temperatures reveals rise over the last century

But there's nothing in them that is new. And they don't clinch the argument. In fact, they come close to poking holes in it.

All of this was addressed in Ian Plimer's book Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, The Missing Science in any case.
