Pteranodon, Plesiosaurs, and of course rhinoceros are dinosaurs! But how DARE you say a chicken is because it is NOT. It's a bird. Like a pterodactyl. |

Come on, guys. Everyone knows that pterodactyls were both birds and dinosaurs. But chickens are just birds, no dinosaur in there anywhere.

Two words; David Peters. It isn't even his bipedal pterosaur theory that bothers me, it is his insistence that pterosaurs were lizards & that anyone who disagrees is trying to censor him. Not to mention how he uses photoshop to examine fossils, rejecting all argument that actually seeing the fossil is far more valid.

There's no way that's a Pteranodon! That's a hideous flying alien monster! |

And then...one faithful day...David Peters had his eyes pecked out by a flock of angry Zhejiangopterus. |

All of the kid's books teach crap like that. Some are kind of forgivable like "mammoths are the ancestors of elephants", but some talk about Pterodactyls as birds and all of that. >.> |

Don't be ridiculous Sheather, everyone knows that pterodactyls evolved into bats. And T-Rexes evolved into tigers. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

What annoys me is the fact that some people still treat paleontology with utter lack of respect, regarding to it as something lesser than other science fields. It more than often leads to school bullying in kids and then surpressing interests of people who would potentially become great scientists, but due to childhood experience they try to 'fit in' so desperately they shun aside their own desires. More so, it leads to that extremely arrogant position of some people who claim "who cares, these are just dinosaurs, depict them as you wish, it's not that it's important". If I portrayed a bald lion or scaly dog, the same people would probably flip if I called it a "scientific restoration". tl;dr - lack of respect for this science field.
