But Their Arms Are So Tiny


Science has finally tackled one of the great questions of our age. Could a modern human beat a T-Rex in an arm wrestling match. Now we all know that such a match in reality would require significant safety measure so that the T-Rex didn't just snap his opponent's head off in one clean bite. However, apparently, those tiny stick arms were remarkably strong for their size. Maybe if they had evolved over a few million years they might have had the mighty 'guns' of say - me.

Surely an Over the Top–era Sylvester Stallone would put up a good fight? “Not even Lou Ferrigno in his prime would stand a chance,” Conrad says. “They didn’t just have big biceps. Their chest and shoulder muscles were huge too. They had huge arms and shoulders—bigger than my leg. They had the strength to rip a human’s arm right out of its socket.”
