So T. Rex is just a big chicken. I suspected as much.

Is anyone even asking the question as to how soft tissues and protiens managed to survive for 68 million years?

Excepert from a Fox News story on the same subject:

It seems some 68 million years ago, a teenage T. rex died and left behind a drumstick-shaped femur bone that today still contains intact soft tissue and the oldest preserved proteins discovered to date.

Though no genetic material was preserved, researchers were able to extract the proteins from the collagen tissues.

“Protein analysis confirms...”

According to the article I read yesterday, this same analysis gave some flawed results as well, showing one reptile had more in common with mammals than other reptiles, an admitted bad result. There is absoloutely no proof this is accurate.

Imagine that, we could replicate them and solve the World’s hunger crisis. Only problem is, what to feed them.....

[Paulus Invictus]

Now chickens are the carriers of the scary H5N1 virus that has killed hundreds in Asia and could mutate and cause a world-wide pandemic. Should we call it the revenge of T. Rex if hundreds of millions of humans die from the pandemic?

The Gummint has already bought 120 million doses of Tamiflu anti-virus medicine at a mere $7.4 Billion of our tax money. All the pols at every level have got the medicine already to be used if they get the flu symptoms. Have you? It's more than probable that you will not get it. Our State Legislature voted against buying the product, but none of them turned down the freebie medicine.

One hell of a drumstick...

T-Rex vs. Colonel Sanders! Smackdown Raw!

Science has spoken! But somewhere inside my common sense says BS.

[Revolting cat!]

The proof should be found in chicken pudding!

[adorno]

scientists say they have established more firmly than ever that the closest living relatives of the mighty predator Tyrannosaurus rex are modern birds.

If that is the case, shouldn't Hollywood be revisiting their movies were T-Rex is always seen chasing and thundering behind seemingly hapless people and vehicles? Should T-Rex be depicted as flying overhead and swooping down to grab those tiny human meals? Isn't Jurassic Park due for a remake as it seems all movies eventually do?

A flying T-Rex! Now, that would be real scary.

So they tasted like chicken? No wonder the cave people wiped ‘em out.

Subservient Chicken

Gives a new meaning to Dinosaur BBQ.

I guess either chickens are smarter and tougher than that old bad boy, or never mind that ‘Survival of the Fittest’ stuff...
