Well that kind of spoils it. All that molting would make a terrible mess of the house.

It might have made for some great color patterns though.

Originally it was a small predator. But it was subsidized and just grew and grew. Eventually it grew so large it ate everything in sight.

Sound like something else we know?

For real. They make it sound so cute and cuddly, like a lap dog, until it bites your leg off at the thigh. LOL

From Witness To The Mob, 1998

Car scene, where Sammy “The Bull” Gravano makes his first hit.

“Get It On” by band T-Rex playing on the car radio.

Sammy in backseat, waiting to shoot and kill the front seat passenger of the car, one of his ‘good buddies’, on Mob orders.

Driver’s Mobbed-up uncle, on driver’s behalf, ordered the hit...

Driver: What’s this garbage we’re listening to?

Front seat passenger: T-Rex. They’re from England.

Sammy (in backseat): They ain’t half bad.

Driver: What are they even doing in this country?
Put on some Italian music — A little Jimmy Roselli.

Front seat passenger: C’mon, Tony. I like this song.

Sammy: Let him listen to what he wants.

Driver: That’s right, I forgot.
Tonight is Joey’s night.

(driver nods to Sammy to make the hit)

Sammy: (reaches for gun and shoots his ‘pal’ of many years in the back of the head)

Thanks.

I was being “punished” (again).

I'm pretty sure Laz has the record. Or if he doesn't he'll soon hit it.

Of course T-rexes weren’t around at the time Brontosaurs/Apatosaurs were (Jurassic period). But Allosaurs were! :)

I was surprised to see a drawing of this new dinosaur with a duck bill type of face. Regarding hairless elephants, who now live in tropical places, didn’t mammoths and mastadons have more hair while living in icy lands?

Given their food requirements, it has always seemed unlikely (even impossible) for large pachyderms to survive, no matter how furry they were. The amount of hair probably means nothing, just genes at work.

I think the large pachyderms survived in front of the glaciers because the prairies were tall in grass and well watered from the glacial runoff.
