Convalescing here, watching some dinosaur fight porn on History Channel about Tyrannosaurs that has me thinking about a few things:
- Those tiny arms are a pretty interesting argument again evolution, right? I mean, what would be the point of making a giant bad ass killing machine and giving it those ridiculous tooth pick thingys? It's like a Thalidomide baby the size of a VW bus.
- How do they know that Tyrannosaurs were about a smart as house cats? What's the basis for that claim? How smart are house cats, anyway? Maybe we've just been testing stupid house cats. There are stupid people, after all.
- Also, "It's name was Tyrannosaurus Rex" is a patently false statement. We named it Tyrannosaurus Rex long after the last one crapped out; for all we know, back in the day it went by Fred or Big Tooth Scary Thing. As in:
Triceratops: "Holy shit, it's Fred! Run motherfuckers!"
