Heck, we can’t get it straight whether our current climate is heating or cooling

Don't know, however ? the real question should be ? how would REX RIBS taste with barbecued over a open propane flame with onions ?

If you really want to get a Paleontologist worked up, ask about Paleocene dinosaurs...

One T-Rex would last a family for how long ? might have to share it with friends and family or the whole block.

Send this to university of creationism and it will make its way back to the religion forum here with the label addition "(More Proof that Evolution is Bunk!)"

Rather eat Brontosaurus as eating Carnivores the meat can be gamey.

warm-blooded like us

That's pretty insensitive to any ectothermic creatures who may be reading the article.

It is not too hard a stretch of the imagination for the smaller, in relative terms, dinosaurs to be warm blooded but I remember seeing a show calculating the amount of food a warm blooded sauropad, like Apatasauraus, would need to eat and it seemed unlikely they could eat that much.

Of course the line will be “See, See, even they don’t know if they were cold or warm blooded so all their theories about evolution are bunk.”

BTW do you think Jimbo still will replace Bobby?
