    That also means Archaeopteryx has a middle finger.

    A bird that can flip you the bird.

      Wouldn’t it flip you the human instead?

        Humans hadn’t been invented yet. Best it could do is flip you the mammal.

    It’s high time we replaced Philosoraptor with Sarcastiopteryx.

      A Socratic dialog in which the philosopher offers good questions to which the bird has only flippant rejoinders.

    Archeo means old, pter means wing, is yx just a suffix or does it mean something in itself?

      The -yx comes from the Greek word “onyx” which means claw or talon. So, anything ending in a -yx is designated that way to say that it has sharp cutty bits that will hurt you.

    Fun bio fact: there’s also an extinct plant named Archaeopteris, thought for some time to be the world’s first tree.
