Thunder Thighs: New Dinosaur Had A Colossal Kick

Anyone who's ever thought they had a big butt had nothing on a dinosaur literally named "thunder thighs."

Among the sauropods, the largest creatures to have ever walked the Earth, Brontomerus — "thunder thighs" in Greek — probably had the biggest thighs of them all, scientists revealed. Its unusually powerful back legs might have been used for super-kicks against rivals or would-be predators, they added. [Illustration of Brontomerus]

Partial skeletons of Brontomerus mcintoshi were recovered in 1994 in a quarry in eastern Utah. (The dinosaur's species name, mcintoshi, is meant to honor of John "Jack" McIntosh, a retired physicist and sauropod expert.)

Damn that is awful. But they have misspelled the last name, should it not be Michelle.

Given that the closest she ever gets to the top job is Secretary of State, some day, a very old Hillary will wonder if it was really worth prostituting herself in this way...LOL

You know ... I looked at the photo ... before I read your post ...

and thought "exactly" the same thing ...

Hilliary is Hilliary ... a power-hungry leftist ...

But there's a "genuine" woman in there somewhere, with romantic feelings ... and a heart ...

Billy Boy "poisoned" her heart ages ago ... No woman deserves that ...

I'm pretty sure she was a leftist before she met bill. Therefore she was not a woman and had no heart. That was perveretd out of her long before then.

There are no leftist women.

Since "thunder thighs" is © and ® by The Hildabeaste, I wonder if Life Science got permission to use that name?
