Carolyn Devonshire January 12, 2011 at 7:47 PM What would the museums do without those fossils, Bob? They're the only proof we have that some species existed. Excellent entry for the dinosaur contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn

Barbara Gorelick January 12, 2011 at 6:16 PM Hi Bob, I like you dinosaur piece. Just those fossils, and us..sigh. BG

Robert Pettit January 12, 2011 at 5:32 PM Nobody living today was an eyewitness to that event which was an estimated 65 million years ago. However, your haiku describes a plausible hypothesis to the fate of those large reptiles.

Dr.Ram Mehta January 12, 2011 at 5:18 PM Very realistic and practical picture you have worded, sums up all, what I said in nine haiku, Bob. Appreciate your approach, Bob
