I must say, I did like the piece from Discovery first as far as our ancestor's being snack's! :)

I been looking at some of the fossil's and such that were being dug up in and around the Dallas/ Fort Worth Metroplex, and it is amazing what kind of monstrous creature's there were here at a time, and even sea life as well ... million's of year's back. Even digging through solid limestone 120 ft underground building subway tunnel's year's back, the worker's were literally knocked out just from the methane gas from ancient sea turtle's, and this is prarie land at that! Some of the fang's that some of these creature's had were devastating, and I doubt they were vegetarian's. :)
