The word dinosaur, which means "terrible lizard," was coined in 1842, but now we know that
dinosaurs aren't lizards, although they share a common ancestor. Lizards as a group are primitive
compared to dinosaurs. Dinosaurs as a group got bigger over time until an extinction event 65 million
years ago wiped out all but bird-like dinosaurs. Scientists don't agree entirely on what happened, but
the extinction likely was a double or triple whammy involving an asteroid impact, choking chemicals
from erupting volcanoes, climate change and possibly other factors. In a nutshell, dinosaurs were big,
green animals that lived a really really long time ago. Of course you couldn't really fit a dinosaur into
a nutshell, not even a coconutshell, because all dinosaurs were huge. A common misconception,
fueled by anti-dinosaur Zionist propaganda such as Jurassic Park, is that there were many varieties of
dinosaur in all shapes and sizes. This is not true at all. Every single dinosaur was a huge, hulking,
brute that spent all day eating plants, sleeping, and sleep-eating. Actually I think the word "brute" may
be a little harsh, because dinosaurs were gentle and caring. The Tyrannosaurus Rex has been
portrayed as a terrible monster by many, but the truth is he would not hurt a fly.Unless the fly was
really badly injured and in a lot of pain and had to be put out of it's misery for it's own sake, in which
case the T-Rex would put the poor fellow to sleep quickly and humanely and would probably cry a
little while doing so.

Scientists classify dinosaurs into two major groups based on the structure of the bones in their hips.

Most of the well-known dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus rex, Deinonychus, maniraptors, and
birds, fall into a category known as Saurischian dinosaurs (pronounced sor-ISK-ee-en). These
"reptile-hipped" dinosaurs have a pelvis that points forward, similar to more primitive animals.

Saurischian dinosaurs, often long-necked, have large and sharp teeth, long second fingers, and a first
finger that points strongly away from the rest of the fingers.

Ornithischian (pronounced or-neh-THISK-ee-en) dinosaurs, a group that includes horned and frilled
ceratopsians, Iguanodontids, armored stegosaurs, and duck-billed hadrosaurs, are more mild-
mannered, plant eaters. All have "bird hips," or a backward-pointing pelvis (although ironically they
are not the ancestors of birds), which is more stable and gives them that lumbering look.
They also have a beak-like bump on the front of their lower jaws that Saurischians lack, and their
teeth tend to be smaller and blunter.

Saurischians are divided into two groups – four legged herbivores called sauropods and two-legged
carnivores called theropods (living birds are theropods).
