Did scientist believe that dolphins once had arms and legs and lived on land over 50 million years ago?

Yes, scientists believe that dolphins, along with other cetaceans, evolved from land-dwelling ancestors that had limbs resembling arms and legs. This evolutionary transition occurred over approximately 50 million years, as these animals adapted to life in the water. Fossil evidence supports the idea that early cetaceans had features suitable for both land and aquatic environments before fully adapting to marine life.

How do you make lockpicking tools?

Simple pidks for mortice locks can be made by just bending lengths of wire coathanger. More complex tools for mortice locks such as overlifters require more precision engineering. Simple pick tools for rim-type locks are usually made out of 1.5mm - 2mm sprung steel sheet, so can be made with an amount of metal and some files. (common useful shapes include ball end and double ball end (for wafer locks), half diamond and hook (for rim, and euro- and oval- barrel) and a rake. You'll also need a tensioner.
