You might have come out with these kinds of expression, and you might now be frowning as well. If you think the title seems peculiar, I suggest that you buy (or borrow) a copy of Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages by Dr. Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. and Luis V. Rey, and read the chapter Birds (Avialae). (To read my review of the book, click here.)
To true dinosaur enthusiasts, this is not something strange or new. As bats are mammals, birds (including chickens) are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs did NOT go extinct; they are still alive today, with us. So what are the implications? What are the consequences? Here are some that I can think of:
1. Dinosaur pets
 |
| A parrot |
Do you have a bird pet? Parrot? Cockatoo? Canary? Pigeon? Finch? If yes, you have a dinosaur. :)
2. Dinosaurs in the zoo
 |
| An emu in a zoo |
In a sense, we actually have Jurassic Parks. Now you can point to a bird in a zoo and say, "Look! That's a dinosaur!"
3. You might have eaten dinosaur.
 |
| Thai chicken satay |
Unless you have been a vegan/vegetarian all your life, it is very likely that you have eaten dinosaur.
4. Jay Chou's favorite food is fried dinosaur.

Is this the reason why you compose music amazingly, Jay?
5. Fast-food chains provide dinosaur.
 |
| Fried chicken |
McDonald's, KFC, Lotteria, Burger King, A&W, and many more. They provide dinosaur!
6. Bird lovers are dinosaur lovers.
 |
| Feeding gulls |
Are you a bird lover? Congratulations! You are a dinosaur lover! :)
7. Alarm dinosaurs
