"T-Rex tooth find shows dino may have been a pussy"
Okay, tough guy. I dare you to call a T-Rex a "pussy" its face. I double-dare you. Oh, not so tough now, eh?
Dino-boffins have found a Tyrannosaurus Rex's tooth embedded in the spine of another dinosaur, a find that confirms the creature was a predator but calls into question just whether it was really as fearsome as has often been imagined. Detailed in a paper titled “Physical evidence of predatory behavior in Tyrannosaurus Rex", …
Great white sharks have rows and rows of teeth that routinely fall out/get lodged in prey - I'd hardly call one a pussy though. In the T-Rex's case it could have been the opposite of being a pussy - that scary motherf*cker might have walked around sinking it's teeth into everything that moved (if Jurassic Park is to be believed) regardless of whether it was too big/too small/not really hungry/etc. This one just got lucky/ something else came along/T-Rex got a headache/etc
In the Words of Qui-Gon Jinn: "There is always a bigger fish ..."
At the London Museum of Natural History they have (or had some years ago) on exhibit the pretrified part of an arm that is the only remains of some critter they believe was rexier than T-Rex.
If that theory holds, I bet that one could eventually have spotted a T-Rex and gone: "Mmm ... lunch!"
dictates that the reward must be given to the current owner, and may only be conferred to another upon the current owner's consent. Therefore, the unnamed hadrosaur must be awarded the gold dubloon beneath its 65-million year old pillow, as well as a reasonable scattering of pixy dust, at the discretion of the court-appointed hob, yet to be determined.
Pussies kill billions of other animals every year across the world, they can climb trees, turn our women to jelly (and men too, depending on the type of pussy involved), and it is fair to say that the two main types of pussy have almost taken over the entire Internet, which is more than can be said about t-rex or whatever his name is.
The pussy(cat) borne parasite toxoplasma gondii affects the human host to make them more appreciative of cats, it's also reported to make humans more promiscuous and slower to react.
Maybe the internet is more accurately described as heavily influenced by a single parasite.
Nice to be separated from T. Rex by at least some 50MM years (creationists and popular culture notwithstanding).
Not a very clever idea to regard a top predator in depreciatory terms if you are in front of it. Remember it is much larger, much toothier, and much less tame than you are, and it is also quite used to and fully able to eat anything it can catch. A human would be a light snack, nothing more.
If I'm going T. Rex hunting, it will be from inside an Apache helicopter or an Abrams tank. Adequate firepower - don't leave home without it
If I were hunting a live T-rex, I'd have no problems doing it on foot. I'd see it coming from a long way off and a .50 cal Barrett is most certainly the great equalizer.
That said, I doubt I'll ever even hear about a live T-rex, let alone find a reason to have to hunt such an impossible thing.
