Folks:  Here is an interesting one!  My question is, how should I handle
this kind of thing?  I'm torn between blowing it off and making a long,
reasoned
reply.  Suggestions?  How do the rest of you handle off-the-wall inquiries?

Here's a theory for you.  I have for a long time been
wondering about how the dinosours all died off.  I've had a
hard time believing the comet theory's.  I have wondered
about a sudden change in the earths gravitational pull.
The gravity increased suddenly, the dinosaurs just couldn't
support their own weight and collapsed.
Some of the water dinosaurs lived on which gives us whales
and sharks.  Some of the smaller reptiles lived on for
birds and the close to the ground dinosaurs are todays
lizards.
Just something to think about.  I'm not a scientist, just a
normal person who wonders about stuff.

Thanks
