Raptors have feathers, or scaly skin.

No fur.

Fits my opinion, which puts me well above, better than any 'Furry'.

That actually doesn't matter. There are people out there who like reptile anthropomorphs, or more commonly, dragon anthropomorphs. They're still called furries, though they're a subset that I *THINK* calls themselves scalies. But I'm not sure on that, I get things mixed up.

I know of an example of a Firefly / Reptile furry combo.
Iguana boyfriend and Anya Rose Ewing in her Captain Malcolm Reynolds/Wolf fur-suit
I can't say that I approve of such scandalous & wanton behavior.

Sorry for the length, but I love that comic, and there was no other possible response. Anytime someone talks about anthropomorphic raptors, I always think of Dr. Dinosaur now.

Truly a brilliant comic. I got my scientific two cents to add.

In 1974, Frank J. Tipler designed (but did not build) a time machine. Tipler's PhD dissertation in physics, "Causality Violation in General Relativity," was about that machine. You can read more at

http://books.google.de/books?id=39KQY1FnSfkC&q=Frank+Tipler+#v=snippet
&q=Frank%20Tipler%201974&f=false


The book that explores the confused notions about time machines in Science Fiction is "Time machines: time travel in physics, metaphysics, and science fiction, Second Edition" by Paul J. Nahin. I learned two things: Time travel is possible. And the other thing is that time travel is impossible the way it is done in comics, TV, movies, novels, and short stories.

If you build Tipler's time machine, you don't have to worry about your H.G. Wells time machine reappearing in the vacuum of space somewhere near Pluto because you have much bigger problems. You'll need to find a star that no one is using. Then you'll need to build a star ship to travel there. Then you need to squeeze the star into a cylinder. Then rotate that cylinder to half the speed of light because you're warping spacetime. Are you seeing the difficulties here?

The good part is that Tipler's machine would actually work, unless Einstein completely screwed-up general relativity theory and how likely is that?

Honestly, it's reasonably likely Einstein did get some things wrong, though I have my doubts string theory has the answers. There might be some fundamental issues with quantum theory, as well.

However, I can believe that time travel would take some serious tricks on physics and the fabric of space time.
