    I missed this today. Apparently they had a guy on from UCD talking about dinosaurs. So i had alook on RTE's website and found this:
    http://www.rte.ie/tv/scope/scope06/SCOPE3_show05_profile.html
    "We're trying to figure out how big marine reptiles like this plesiosaur, that looked a bit like a Loch Ness monster," he says (holding up a huge bird skull), "are related to crows, like the hooded crow you see commonly around Dublin."
    :confused::confused::confused::confused:
    Some kind of a misquote? I don't need to point out what is wrong with that quotation.Anyhow I have emailed them for clarification. Hopefully we will find out more soon.

    Why is it that whenever mainstream ireland gets it's hands on palaeontology related stuff they end up making a complete balls of it?
    And yet, I didn't make the grade. How depressing.
