<div class="IPBDescription">Dragons-Dinosaurs-Birds-?</div> I think it's pretty obvious, just look at their feet. The Dinosaur turned into a flipping bird. But before that, it was a dinosaur/bird. What direction do you think the bird will go to next? Personally I think the octupus is a decenant of the bird, cause they both have beaks. Keep in mind that evolution is caused by survival and the environment. Something pushed those dinosaurs to be birds.

    No. Go read a book on evolution. Then come here.

    Better yet, don't come here. This is a game forum, and this specifically is an off-topic forum for lighthearted material, not scientific discusison. If you want to discuss evolution, go to <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89840&hl=' target='_blank'>this thread</a> in the discussion forum. But please know what you're talking about first. Here's a hint: an octopus's beak and a bird's beak are not even close to being related. That's just one thing wrong with your understanding of evolution. I really don't care to go into further detail when you have an Internet's worth of resources at your fingertips. Use them.

    I actually laughed at this.










    And laughing at threads that are actually trying to be honest is rare.

    Well if he got one thing right, it's that they in fact do have a beak. Even <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus' target='_blank'>Wikipedia</a> talks about it.

    Since the octopus came into existence?

    Here's a photo, it's a giant squid (maybe a colossal squid, can't remember) and not an octopus, but you get the idear.

    This kid does appear to be an idiot, but I disagree with some of the things you say. For one, this is off-topic forum. That means anything we want. It doesn't need to be light-hearted. I actually enjoy discussing things rather than going and watching some stupid flash animation.

    "Off-topic" implies anything that doesn't fall under the game "Natural Selection"... This thread happens to fit, even if it does seem a tad idiotic.

    Notice the "Discussion" forum directly below this forum. It is also in the category "other". If you want to discuss something seriously, take it there. I didn't even consider this to be a joke thread, because of the distinct lack of caps, acronyms, exclamation points, or anything else that made fun of evolution or made fun of people who ask about evolution, in the original post. If it's a joke, it's too perfect an imitation of ignorance to be funny. If it's not a joke, well, that's why I posted the link to the evolution thread.

    Back to the topic of where this thread belongs, as it has apparently turned into a France-bashing fest, by all means continue. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Off-topic can have anything discussed in it, it's just people tend to reserve more sensible conversations for the discussion forum because the chances of 'joke' posts drops.


    Oh and we are already seeing hints of the next steps in evolution for both Human and Bird in nowadays Media. Never watched Sesame Street? Or Rod and Emu?
