What annoys me is when I am arguing with someone and I have a super good comeback in my head if they say something but they never say it so I cant say it without it making no sense!!! >:(
Yes. Just Yes.

On another note, I'm annoyed by the lack of good reference pics for duikers.

Noisette means Hazel.
Actually I meant Noisette Potatoes, they're named after Hazelnuts I think and they look like this:

Yeah they are evry tasty, one day I ate Spaghetti with Noisettes in both Lunch and Dinner, in separate restaurants! xD

So another thing that annoys me is the game Just Dance, ok it's kinda cool, but man what it did to my life can only be expressed in one way:
"There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for this treachery."
Well I went to a party and my mom saw my friends dancing it, she thought it would be a good exercise to make and decided to buy it, so far so good, but then, as soon as it got here, everyone just stopped paying attention to everything oher then it! My sister now only thinks about playing it, and doesn't let me watch TV if she is playing it, even if I left a movie half watched.
And then, when my friends came here yesterday and I told them about the purchase, their instant reaction was "Let's play Just Dance after we finish the work?" and then some minutes worse they were like "May we play Just Dance now?" when we had barely started the work!
Well don't get me wrong, the game is cool, but it made me so mad that now it will be difficult to make me play.

What are noisettes? They sound delicious....


What bugs me? JP fanboys. They complain everything about feathers, they're so fun to troll xD
Oh, don't get me started on the JP fanboys! "Raptors didn't have feathers stop saying they did! I hate Spinosaurus so much, I hope that a T.rex kills one slowly and painfully in JP4! Dilophosaurus really did have a frill and spit venom!" God, I'd really like to strangle these guys! They claim to like dinosaurs, but in actuality they hate the real-life dinosaurs and attempt to use the JP depictions to shield themselves from reality. They really do seem to think that JP was 100% accurate, and that the actual paleontologists who have spent years of painstaking research and studies are the ones who are wrong. As much as I love JP, I still admit that it was a work of complete science fiction, and that it wasn't intended to reflect how dinosaurs looked or behaved in real life.

Another thing that annoys me is the auto spell-correct on my iPad. Just let me type what I want to type, dammit! >:(

1) Jurassic Park was made when not much was known about dinosaurs. 2) It's been mentioned that their genetics aren't pure, hence being spliced with frogs etc. 3) It's just meant to be a horror science film, it wasn't really aimed to be realistic, but more to scare people and make people think about the situation and how they'd respond in that situation. Or perhaps to show people that maybe we shouldn't bring back what has died for probably a good reason.

I was referring to other people, not to myself. I agree with you on all of those points. :)

Oh no, I know. I was just trying to explain, everyone knows I'm no paleofan but I watched the first Jurassic Park. Moreso for a scare and to laugh at these idiotic people for going to an island and recreating dinosaurs that DOMINATED MAMMALS FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS. Why do you think it would end up any different should they come back? I mean, they're not indestructible and tripping the T.Rex in the movie probably could have helped alot of matters. But I mean, seriously. xD

But it's still a fun watch. Only one I felt bad for in the movie was the goat that got eaten ):

Poor Goat

Jurassic Park 1 was great, the sequel was awful and the third one, honestly I don't even hate it as much as the second, but it was still REALLY REALLY bad.

And people often refer to it as this great franchise, no, it's one good film and a couple of bad sequels, it's like Alien or Terminator, both cases, two good movies, then rubbish sequels afterwards. Or the old Batman series, good movie, progressively worse sequels.

Also I do like quite a few things in the book, like at the end of the first movie they just leave the island, in the original book they have the common sense to carpet bomb the whole place

I did enjoy the second film, the third film: less so but it was still okay. But I agree that neither compares to the original.

People who obsess over the idea of Tyrannosaurs with feathers, solely because a few particular ancestors from China had some plumage. This is why (With the exception of UT2, who portrays feathered tyrannosaurs rather well) I hate the idea of a T. rex with feathers. Sure, it might have had some feathers on its arms, maybe even a tail fan, but it certainly did not look like this:

There is no evidence that Tyrannosaurus had feathers, aside from it's ancestors, which, even then, is pretty poor evidence. Most species change over the course of millions of years, so why would Tyrannosaurs be exempt from this rule? For example, look at Daeodon, then look at a domesticated pig. Look nothing alike, right? That's called evolution. Tyrannosaurus lived in floodplains and semi-temperate forests, it very humid climate that had little to no need for feathers. It wasn't blazing hot, but it wasn't freezing cold either, which was he perfect balance for a scaly animal like a crocodile or Tyrannosaur would be right at home at. So before you attack me for not believing in feathered tyrannosaurs, let me just say that some species that lived in extreme climates, like Alaska, probably had feathers. I'm just not buying that T. rex had feathers.

From what I understand, Evolution is the process through which random mutations in an animal's DNA change the individual slightly from the already existing species. Most of these mutations are neutral or even bad for the animals chances of survival but sometimes the change is beneficial and helps the animal to survive longer. The animals with this gene would then reproduce more because they are more likely to survive and gradually those without the gene would die off, thus the species has changed slightly from the 'original' and over millions of years would evolve. But, having feathers would not reduce the chances of survival of T. rex. Birds are able to inhabit almost any environment on earth, save perhaps for deep ocean (obviously) and still are fully feathered. If anything, feathers would be either neutral or beneficial, not really affecting the animal's survival. It's like the males of our species have nipples, they are useless but because they are not hindering our chances of survival we retain them.

Although sometimes animals retain features for no apparent reason.

(Forgive me if I got anything wrong, I'm currently studying GCSE Biology so I'm probably a bit vague because we haven't gone into detail about Evolution yet)

That's just my take on the subject though, I could see it losing some feathers but I can't see it re-evolving all it's scales when it is not needed. But I'm not trying to start a debate here xD

I'm annoyed when I forget to add a material in blender and have already quit the program, so I have to re-import the model, add a material, re-export and correct the lighting again :P so much time wasted!
