"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

They had opposable thumbs and were NOT related to birds. I didn't know that.

I read about this several days ago. There's some evidence in the wrist bones that suggests that these big guys may not have been able to fly. I can't recall the source just now.
