Today’s featured Wikipedia article reveals that velociraptors were probably covered in feathers, stupider than cats, and the size of turkeys. Once again scientific accuracy ruins a fun night out at the cinema.

“Stupider than cats” doesn’t say much. Most people I know are stupider than cats
Perhaps it was the addition of frog DNA that turned these feathery, dim chicken things into the ferocious, leathery hided killing-machine raptors.
My cat is a killing machine. I wouldn’t want to meet him if he was the size of a turkey.
I’m stupider than a cat.
Velociraptor was small for a dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 1.8 meters (6 ft) long, 0.5 meter (1 ft 8 in) high at the hip, and weighing 20 kilograms (45 lb).
That’s a big-assed turkey.
Perhaps the Wikipedian who made the comparison is Texan.
