The skeleton of a flying dinosaur, recently discovered near Liaoning, China, shows that it had two pairs of wings! Cattle outnumber people by more than 4 to 1 in South Dakota. Finally! In 2011, the American Samoa National Soccer Team won their first international game in 28 years when they defeated Tonga 2-1.

I’ve been wondering what happened to all the cattle they’re not butchering. The Chick Filet Cow Protection Program seems to be based in South Dakota.

The 125m-year-old fossil, believed to be an adult, is completely covered in feathers, including long feathers attached to its legs that give the appearance of a second set of wings or “hind wings”. They don’t know if this thing could actually fly, and there are varieties of birds, pigeons especially, that have feathers on their hind legs that are in no way used for flight.http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jul/15/largest-four-winged-dinosaur-changyuraptor-yangi

I still say that God took the dinos that ate everything of flesh for thousands, perhaps millions of years, and made them change into the lowly chicken that now has been eaten by everything for many years now

Was the dinosaur skeleton complete, or was it an extrapolation? There are stories of partial fossils that are built up that look nothing like the full skeleton that’s found later.
I foresee that an adult and infant died together and somebody mixed bones to get this anomaly.

As I recall, an early airplane design featured two wings, but it did not fly well. Even the biplane (one wing above the other) has gone to the wayside although it did fly for a number of years.
