Someone in the lunch room at my office today said, in what appeared to be perfect seriousness, "Evolution can't be true. If evolution were true, then why are there still monkeys?". And then, to my horror, everyone else sitting at the table agreed that that was a good point.

They noticed me staring. It would have been hard not to. They looked over. I said, "It's true, then, what they say about science education in Kansas being sorely lacking."

And then I went on with my lunch and my book, which, scoring a point for irony, is about dinosaurs pretending to be human in modern-day New York.

Is the book something rex, about private detectives? I swear I read something like that but my brain has died and curled up and refuses to respond to prodding.

Yeah, Anonymous Rex, by Eric Garcia.
It's not bad at all, but it is damned absurd.

The problem with reading so many books, so fast, is I can remember plots sort of, but authors and actual titles are gone in the misty recesses unless is really stands out. That one stood out enough to remember something about it, but not enough to really go...oh yeah!
