It crossed my mind that the dinosaurs had a hand (claw?) in the development of their successors, so we might as well have a go ourselves.
The dinosaurs indirectly bred mammals to be small, nippy and prone to living underground, as they would have eaten any large mammals due to lack of nippiness.
So when the meteor hit the Yucatan Peninsular the mammals were in a better position to survive climate changes and the subsequent lack of food.
I suggest we try breeding up something with very big ears, or a more than passing resemblance to bagpipes, in an attempt to have a posthumous last laugh.
Although strangely none of the dinosaurs discovered so far have external genitalia on the males, so perhaps they had this idea too.

You've not visited Norfolk, have you? |

I'm pretty sure common consensus holds that dinosaurs had
cloaca, like those of birds and reptiles. The reproductive
and
eliminatory organs of both genders are all kept inside a
protective pouch with a sphincter-like orifice (though in
some species, I think it may be more like a flap). The
techniques they employ in utilizing said various organs are
alien and mysterious to those of us whose genders are
determined via the innie-or-outie system. |

You mean a majestic T-rex would have something
that looks like a chicken between its legs? That is
one cruel evolutionary twist. |

Grammar corrected. Thank you, m'Lud. |

Just saying. I thought old T-Rex would have a biggun. |

Now you know why T-Rex always seems to angry. |

I just seem to imagine two dinosaur geneticists doing beer and pizza after work. "Hey, that external genitals development, what a laugh!" and other one goes "Yeah, just wait until they evolve enough to make the bicycle cross-bar". There's a Farside cartoon in there... |

Well, there's something with very big ears, AND a more than passing resemblance to bagpipes. He's called Prince Charles ... |

only yesterday I was wondering what some wonk in the tory party was raving on about sorting out dysfunctional familes.. and was too afraid to ask if that includes the house of Windsor? |

I thought this was going to say that dinos devolved into birds, so in the far future humans should be content to devolve into tiny humanoid creatures that spend 99% of their time searching for worms and running south for the winter. The then-dominant species (tigers probably) would smile and build little feeders for us, and maybe serve up the fatter ones of us for Tiger Thanksgiving. |
