ALL Dinosaurs had feathers?

We all know that Tyrannosaurus rex was an enormous theropod dinosaur with huge teeth that, were it alive today, would cause serious pants wetting problems in all who happened across one.  Also, it had feathers and was probably adorable as a baby.  Admittedly the adorableness is pure speculation on my part, but the feathers are fairly well documented and, although mind blowing, significantly less speculative.   

 A few newly discovered fossils suggest an even more mind blowing idea, namely that ALL dinosaurs had feathers.  That's right.  The new findings suggest that all dinosaurs - not just the cute and cuddly ones like T. rex - might have been feathered.  Significant research still needs to be done to confirm this, but if this is true then the special effects in the new Jurassic Park movie are going to need a serious redo.
