No, they're dinosaurs, which also aren't reptiles. Totally different clade.

Also Fishmech you should take vicodin for your knee. It is doing wonders for me right now but it makes it so I can't sleep which is not good because my mind is going too fast.

yeah im down to very few vicodin and percocet left over from dentists though.

Nah sorry they're not reptiles. For one thing, warm blood. It makes the most sense to classify them as descendants of dinosaurs, more closely related to velociraptors than to lizards.

Just do what I do and have a crippling phobia of needles so that you get vicodin prescriptions written out as anti anxiety medication.

Actually don't do that because if you are allergic to bees like me then you will never carry your epipen with you.

You're using morphological traits to determine relatedness, which is not cool or good

this is the slow road to opium addiction. they're so good, and the knee is so bad, and it'l never get much better so might as well take some every day

my uncle is in the us army band, and one time they were sent to the negev for some event to play at, and they decided to go out into the desert around the hotel to practice some of the next day's set without disturbing the other guests.

the idf suddenly rolled out once they started playing and searched them for like bombs and poo poo because they were "too close to the border" or some poo poo

I take vicodin once in a blue moon, pretty much only when I know I have to stare down a needle or like right now when there is no cartilage left in my knee and the pain is excruciating.

Ok yeah, I was wrong, birds are reptiles as dinosaurs were, but birds are still more closely related to dinosaurs than to snakes and lizards, correct? In my defense my thinking's a little fuzzy right now.

If we're going by last common ancestors, I believe that birds and crocodilians have a more recent one.

yeah birds is dinosaurs and dinosaurs is reptiles, and there's a good 100 million plus gap between birds earliest common ancestors with snakes/lizards/whatevs and now

and that means parrots/parakeets are dinosaurs that you can speak english to and many of them can fully comprehend you on like a late elementary school kid's level and speak back and if you don't think that's the coolest poo poo ever get out of my face. you can straight up chat with dang dinosaurs

They probably stepped too close to an IDF training area. Obscene amounts of the Negev were expropriated for that purpose. (Guess from whom?)
