How long did the T. Rex roam the earth before extinction banged its gong?

Probably a few thousand or a few tens of thousands of years. Last summer, scientists had to break a trex leg bone in half to get it on a small helicopter, and this is what they found inside the thing:

Anybody who figures that stuff is 70 million years old is basically deluded.

Hmmmm....those are rather large bones. Even if they only roamed the earth for a few thousand years, how many of them would have inhabited the earth.

And after you say, "All of them", please give me a numerical guesstimate. Would it have been in the millions do you suppose?

Yes, they found a 3 mm in diameter hard piece of bone that had to be treated with acids to get it *softened*. There were no blood cells, nor DNA found. It was as much *meat* as a pet rock is alive.

Why?

According to the official ID mantra, MSNBC is a liberal rag not to be trusted. I read the linked article and I agree.
