The Georgeosoros.

Oops, that’s not a plant eater. It feeds on wealthy nations.

HOw could something that large subsist as a herbivore?
It would have to consume tons of fodder a day?
Would the enviroment of that time have supported them?
Are we sure cave men weren’t putting steroids in their feed?

I am still trying to figure out how the blood circulated if this thing raised its head to the full extent.

Scientists said the giant herbivore walked the Earth some 88 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.

How could dinosaurs exist 87,993,352 years before the earth was created?

Futalognkosaurus (FOO-ta-long-koh-SOHR-us)

That sounds too much like "foot-long-o-saurus" and makes it sound like the main ingredient in a prehistoric hot dog.

Some will drool....others may consider themselves "above" eating the lowly tube-steak.

I already have a spread-sheet open to calculate the number of "foot-longs" one could harvest from a Futalognkosaurus

So that’s where they’re outsourcing all those newspaper & MSM jobs being cast out here in North America!

I don't know why you're saying it's "new" and been "discovered". It's always been there, and the guys from the GEICO commercial could probably tell you its name if you bothered to ask them, but, no, you probably think that they were too dumb to beat off the dinosaurs while they were, I don't know, founding civilization as we know it . . .

;-)

That's a Big 'un!

Alexander Kellner, left, a researcher with the Brazilian National Museum, and Argentine paleontologists Jorge Calvo, center, and Juan Porfiri, display parts of a skeleton of what could be a new dinosaur species, a 105-foot plant-eater, Futalognkosaurus dukei dinosaur, during a news conference in Rio de Janeiro, Monday, Oct. 15, 2007. The Patagonian dinosaur was uncovered on the banks of Lake Barreales in the Argentine province of Neuquen and according with the scientists the giant herbivore walked the Earth some 88 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.

""I'm pretty certain it's a new species," agreed Peter Mackovicky..."

That's funny, but I'm pretty certain that it's an old species. Ba dump bump!

a 105-foot plant-eater

Ain't no such thing for a creature that size. No telling how many cavemen were accidentally eaten while hiding in the shrubbery and that big honkin' lizard never even knew it.......

a 105-foot plant-eater that is among the largest dinosaurs ever found

Calvo said the neck alone must have been 56 feet long, and by studying the vertebrae, they figured the tail probably measured 49 feet.

56+49=105
All neck and tail, no body.
What a dufus reporter.

Meet Big Daddy, the gigantic dinosaur just discovered in Argentina

Big Daddy. I like it. And it's easier to pronounce than the other name that sounds like a cuss word :)
