We never argued about whether there *could* be or not! I merely
maintained that since man has never seen an Archaeopteryx move, no-one
knows what it would have looked like so it's a metaphor that conveys
nothing. Except that you can get the word `Archaeopteryx' to scan, which
is fair enough :-)
It is possible that I had been drinking at that time yer honner.
