Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs

In my opinion, "Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs" was very interesting. It describes three theories on the extinction of dinosaurs and uses data to back up these theories. Even though the first two theories (sex and drugs) would explain the extinction of dinosaurs, there would be no way to prove it without having a live dinosaur to test them. Therefore, the third theory (disasters) is the most recognized one. It is the theory that a meteor struck earth and the dust that resulted from it blocked all sunlight. This theory is one that could be tested since a live dinosaur is not needed.
