The fact that many, maybe most, had feather is relatively recent, at least for me. I'm totally blown away by how our understanding of dinosaurs has changed in recent years.

What if some group of dinosaurs, some 65 million years ago, learned that the asteroid was on its way to them, and somehow invented time travel. They were intending to go at best 6 million years into the future -- plenty of time for the ecosystem to recover -- and because of some kind of calibration error wind up . . . yep, 65 million years into the future. Meaning they show up now.
