Argh … I had an extremely hard time with this feud. That’s all I’ll admit to. The last science course I had was probably a biology course, my freshman year in college, and I won’t say how long ago that was, except it was long enough that I’ve forgotten just about everything but the very basics.

I had to guess on number 1 I haven’t taken biology in forever and I think that is what the questions was asking for. The lack of biology leads me to my problem with 10 I think that species is more specific then dinosaur so I went with dodo but I could be wrong and should have gone with a larger classification. Glad to see the feuds are back where I can answer them on my own and only have to look up spellings.
