May 22, 2014: Tyrannosaurus Wrecked



That's right he's been usurped. Kicked to the curb. A nobody.

In Patagonia a farmer saw a bone sticking out of the dirt that 'didn't look right'. The paleontologists came and discovered the jack pot. A never before seen dinosaur that eclipsed T. rex. It's similar, only THREE TIMES LARGER.

It's estimated that the unnamed(Titantasaur?) saur-puss stood seven stories tall and dragged a tail(counter-weight) that brought his length up to 10 stories. He hit the scales at 160,000lbs or about 77 US tons - two maxed out semis.

Talk about ground tremors! (remember those from Jurassic Park before the lawyer got et?)

I believe they found the bones of 6 of them and about 50 teeth. They're already building a museum to house the bones and support the inevitable dino tourism.

They were so excited about finding the huge fossil, nobody noticed the dead guy next to the bone?

It's astounding to think about how just how little is left from earlier ages, and how much information we are missing.

It would be the same as if, out of the current civilization of the entire world, and the myriad of cultures and monuments and artifacts and writing and technology, the only things remaining were a pair of tweezers and a clay sculpture from a third-grade art festival.

Just imagine if, 3000 years from now, the only data records left were from Twitter.

So true. And then with the aliens actually trying to hide evidence of their guidance...
