That’s the biggest chicken bone I ever seen!
Can you get them extra crispy?
Mmmmmmmm
Tibia or not tibia, that is the question.
The 1100 pounds is due to the bone becoming rock; not that the bone weighed 1100 pounds when the dinosaur was using it, right?
It’s probably the bone off the rack of ribs that always caused the Flintstone’s car to overturn.
Like the day that I went to the town hall to get a dog license for Sex. The clerk asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted a licence for Sex. He said, “I’d like to have one, too.” Then, I said, “You don’t understand. She’s a dog.” He replied, “Look man, I don’t care how she looks.” “No no, I’ve had Sex since I was 5!” He replied, “You must have been an early bloomer.”
When I decided to get married, I told the minister I wanted to have Sex at the wedding. He told me I’d have to wait until after the wedding. When I protested that Sex had played a big part in my life and that my whole life revolved around Sex, he said he didn’t want to hear about my personal life.
After my wife and I got married, I took the dog with us on the honeymoon. When I checked into the hotel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and wanted one for Sex. She replied, “Sir, every room in the hotel can be used for sex.” I said, “You don’t understand. Sex keeps me awake at night.” The clerk said, “Me too!”
When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. When I told the Judge I had Sex before I was married, he grinned and said, “Me too.”
One day my dog Sex and I took a walk and he ran away from me. I spent hours looking for that dog. A policeman came by and asked what I was doing in this alley at midnight. I told him, “I’m looking for Sex!” My case comes up next Tuesday.
Now that I’ve been thrown in jail, married, divorced and had more trouble with that dog than I ever imagined, I’m in counseling. My psychiatrist asked me what my problem was. I said, “Sex has left my life. It’s like losing a best friend and I’m so lonely.” He said, “Look, you and I both know that sex isn’t man’s best friend. Why don’t you get yourself a dog...”
I pinged SunkenCiv - our resident FReeper paleontologist, but the jokesters have taken over;)
Guess I’ll have to stick to humor threads.
God bless
Yes, you’re right. Even so did you see the size of it? With a thigh bone that big that critter must have had a ham that would feed a party of 500.
Yabba dabba doo, we got Dino.
Now all they need is the intercostal clavicle!
Current theory has birds as the descendants of dinosaurs, so dinosaur probably did “taste like chicken”.
I think that’s right and good catch...
Many of the therapods like Allosaurus had hollow bones, and would have been much lighter I’d think...Fossilization must account for much if not most/all of the reported weight...But can’t let that get in the way of sensational reporting, can we?
Oh....THIGH bone. Phew.
seriously 1100 lb
fossilized bones are mineralized with every pore filled with stone
haven’t dinosaurs even larger than that been found long ago ?? Brachiosaurus ... 80+tons
Hype Much ????
Asked my question..seems a bit heavy for even a very big bone.
You seem very knowledgeable - try posting a few threads on the subject.
