Braddy's partner paleontologist Markus Poschmann found the claw fossil ...

Yep. If you find one claw, you can easily extrapolate how big the entire creature was.

Than again, maybe not!!

Such nonsense. To test such a theory, you can place a scorpion in an oxygen-rich container from birth to death.

I think the point might be that the size of insects is limited by the relationship of their surface area to their volume.

Nothing special.

Pfft.

How big of a pot is needed for a lobster that size?

As a child, I watched “Them” on tv and it scared me so badly that I would still shudder when I thought about it in college. I rented it recently just to see what I thought as an adult and fell asleep!

It makes me feel very nostalgic about that child who was not yet jaded by all the violent movies I’ve seen since.
