Dose anyone know why this Dino/Bird fossil was given this name?
The four-winged dino, found in china, was named Anchiornis huxleyi. I was wondering if someone could tell me what the first part means, and which Huxley it might have been named after (im presuming it was given that name in honor of person with the surname, but may well be wrong). http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090928205415.htm
FOR THOSE THAT WOULD WORRY THIS IS IN THE WRONG SECTION: The guidelines ask people to post where they feel they are most likely to get the best answers, and i know that fossils and evolution are commonly discussed here so ive posted in this section based on that.
Also, i am curious to know the thoughts of young-earth creationists, and those who do not believe in evolution on this fossil. please feel free to add your thoughts.

The “an,” as you know,” means “without.”
“Chi,” as you know, is the Greek letter for “frat boy.”
“Ornis,” as you may not know, is latin for “micturated”
It is commonly thought that the “Huxley” refers to Aldous Huxley, because he spread his wings in a Brave New World. But in reality, it’s a shortened version of “Theo Huxtable,” who would never have joined a fraternity.
In summary, the four-winged Chinese dino was named for an unmicturated frat boy like the clean-cut Theo Huxtable.
