Now I feel like an idiot. I made a long ramble based on your lying
description. Then I actually read the article. It says
"The authors of the Nature paper describe a mass of orchid pollen
found stuck to the body of an extinct bee that lived 15-20 million
years ago."
Dinosaurs did not live 15-20 million years ago. This pollen came
WAY after the extinction of the large dinosaurs, which occurred 65
million years ago. The only dinosaur-like creatures around 15-20 MYA
were birds.
Thank you. I swear that I will now read the links before I
pontificate. From here on.

What's to feel stupid about, you got it right about bees in your first
response.

For not catching the blatant lie right away. He was creating a
straw man for attack. He claimed that scientists just found out that
flowers and bees coexisted with the dinosaurs. Obviously scientists
were wrong before, since the earliest fossil bees come after the
Mesozoic.
I was defending the straw man, by pointing out that flowers were
known during the days of the dinosaur and as well as insects behaving
like bees. So I knocked down the straw man.
Now, it turns out that the article did not say a fossil bee was
found during the days of the dinosaurs. The article quite clearly said
something completely different. The straw man was just straw. I made
Martinson seem smarter than he was, which was probably all he wanted.
So I am an idiot.

But are they man-eating orchids that an evil genius plans to ressurect
and use to conquer the world?

Some friars were behind on their belfry payments, so
they opened up a small florist shop to raise the funds.

Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of
God, the rival florist across town thought the competition
was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but
they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close.
They ignored him. He asked his mother to go and ask the
friars to get out of business. They ignored her, too.

So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest
and most vicious thug in town, to "persuade" them to close.
Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd
be back if they didn't close shop. Terrified, the friars did so,
thereby proving that . . .

Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
