Q: Why Did Birds Survive the K-T Impact and Mass Extinction? A: Seeds

[Simon]

First off, I know that its no longer called the "K-T" boundary, so no need to point out the obvious. I'm just a curmudgeon who still calls the capital of China "Peking" (there was no good reason to change that spelling either), so humor me here... 

...Anyhow... here is an absolutely fascinating read with a strong air of truth to it - because it passes the "Occam's Razor" test - simple, and testable ...

Since we're discussing spelling, I should point out it's spelt "capital", not "capitol". Capitol refers to a physical building, capital is a governmental seat.

Sorry, see it all the time and it irritates me.

I stand corrected.    Mistake corrected.  Merci beaucoup.
