Bones



Bones

It has recently been discovered
(by me)
that bones continue to grow
even after death.

The rate of growth is very small,
but bones do continue
to process minerals
and increase in size
over the millennia.

Over a span of 65 million years,
bones can make incredible size changes.
What this means to paleontologists,
however is significant.

What it means is
that dinosaurs were really
quite small creatures.
The largest of which were never
larger than a medium sized dog.

I have done
a large amount of research
on the matter
and am certain
of it's veracity.

Any sore loser paleontologists
will just have to learn
to live with it.
