Bird lung, dinosaur lung---nice description at Pharyngula


Recommended Posts

http://pharyngula.org/index/weblog/comments/dino_lungs/

 

discussion, with diagrams, of the avian "four-stroke" lung as contrasted with mammalian two-stroke

 

more efficient at extracting oxygen, and helps achieve lighter body structure

 

maybe a lot of people know about this, but I thought Pharyngula had a nice clear description and interesting reflections about it

WTF, stupid intelligent designer, giving us inferior 2-stroke lungs and backwards retinas. What was he thinking?!@

 

heh heh

 

surely the Designer had his reasons, bascule.

 

BTW there are some nice quotes of Judge Jones Dover decision

at the Pharyngula weblog:

in case these links are slow (lot of hits on Pharyngula right now) or not working, try this

http://pharyngula.org/index/weblog/

since the items in question are currently near the top

 

here is the text of the actual ruling:
