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?

Cool find...

I think I saw that on the Flintstones.

Indeed. Even something as *small* as a giraffe needs to maintain substantial blood pressure merely to remain conscious. Granted, a dinosaur probably had a much more primative, undeveloped brain as compared to a camelopard, but it still needed some degree of circulation up at the end of the 56 feet of neck.

Don't worry about that... our top creationist minds are working on that little detail right now. Solution forthcoming.

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

For you believers out there, the pre-flood vapor canopy theory explains this nicely. With 2X the oxygen density in the atmosphere, little fluctuation in daytime and night temperatures, plus abundant moisture, plants and things would grow VERY large. Further, if you believe that before the Fall, there was no sin and thus no death in the world, animals without a growth inhibiting factor (like fish and reptiles)would continue growing as long as they were alive. There are even skeletal examples of very large people who lived in pre-historic times. Or not, if you prefer.

Global Warming helped grow huge plants until the big dinosaurs, the SUV's of the era, emitted enough methane to ignite the flora and fauna, thus hastening their demise.............

Doesn't look much over 5'3" if you ask me.

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