So Let Me Understand This


T-Rex was really just some big CHICKEN?? Apparently many paleontologists believe that T-Rex was covered in feathers. I have never been more disappointed. Apparently I live in a combination of fear and awe of POULTRY as a small child.

How did you boys miss this revelation first time round? When you found the bones didn't you also notice the impression of feathers in the fossil rock? But I can excuse your little blunder. Not like you were FREAKIN' TRAINED SPECIFICALLY TO NOTICE SHIT LIKE THAT.

You realized you just spoiled Jurassic Park for me also, don't you. Why not just get it over with and tell me something like Tricerotops never existed. What? He didn't? AAAAAAAA. Well it's my own fault for asking them to do it.

I refuse to believe this. No siree!

What u talkin' bout?
Did you buy that Bill Murray movie?

I take all these new "findings" about Dinosaurs with a grain of salt, every decade they come up with something new. To me dinos look like the ones you see in Ray Harryhausen movies. :)

Of course it is in turns scary for being silly and scary for thinking of a T-Rex size chicken!

Do you have netflix? Or some Canadian version of it?

Can't believe anything they have to say about T-Rex. One minute he's a ferocious beast, the next he's a scavenger, and then suddenly he was a cannibal.

I call bosh on these "experts".

Sam - I am with you. Even if it IS true, couldn't they just have kept it to themselves?

Nomand - no, not yet. But it's on my list for when I leave the Cave for supplies.

Drake - Ray was tuned in. I am going with you on this one.

Wings - Despite the size you would have to kill fifty of these "chickens" to make a decent hot wing meal.

Cotton - Netflix just came to Canda. I am concidering it.

TS - Next they will be telling me he wore a top hat and monocle like Mr Peanut. Hey, come to think of it that would be AWESOME!

I see people here are having trouble believing the 'experts'. Its a smart group of followers you have here Kal...

Kal said...

Or a group of the 'classic' T-Rex look fan club.

I am a bit alarmed to find myself rejecting science (if this was really true) in favor of what I choose be believe.

I feel like how one of those 'the Bible is fact' people must feel. They can never be convinced that it's not just a nice book of Bronze Age fairy tales despite scientific evidence to the contrary.

The part about triceratops (my favorite Dino) not existing, read this: http://news.nationalpost.com/2010/08/03/triceratops-never-actually-existed-scientists-say/
See shit happens but this is monkey coffee bean kind of shit.

So, when T-Rexes are cloned (as in Jurassic Park) we'll have the biggest turkey for Christmas' dinners.

Kal said...

All I know is I am not pulling the wishbone on THAT chicken.

Kal said...

Nomad - the very worst part about the whole triceratops thing is that they demoted him to juveline member of another species. It wasn't enough just to kill the idea of him outright, they had to humiliate him as well.
