Re: Tar pits???
I know this is a stretch, but is it possible there is some confusion between the tar pits and the theory that the dinosaur extinction was caused by huge lava flows initiating global climate change ?
The confusion is something like :
  • Tar pits are sometimes referred to as carnivore traps
  • The source of the lava flows are known as the deccan traps
  • There is a theory that the extinction of the dinosaurs was gradual and due to climate change caused by said lava
  • WT doesn't seem to have the greatest grasp of science and loves word links (red tape - the best yet )
Like I say, I know it's a stretch...

Confused ? You will be...
