Today is National Velociraptor Awareness Day. I thought I saw some flying over me earlier today but they were just giant snowflakes - equally scary in their own way. My husband used to say that velociraptors were just giant chickens. Or chickens are just miniature velociraptors, still running around on this earth. He was not fond of chickens. Sadly, my husband didn't live to see his theory proved. He died in 2006. In 2007 scientists published an article about the discovery of velociraptor remains with quill knobs (bumps along its forearm) that would have anchored feather quills to the bone, and are common in modern birds. Chickens are modern birds, so he was right.
