Archaeopteryx Memes

Paleontologists watching Archaeopteryx fossils show up like helicopter parents monitoring their kid's science fair project. "Oh look, another specimen that forces us to redraw the entire dinosaur-to-bird evolutionary tree." The scientific community's collective eye-roll is practically audible. That transitional fossil just can't stop being the attention-seeking middle child of evolutionary biology. Next week it'll probably reveal it had four wings and tap-dancing abilities.
