T. rex = Chickens

[JanieDough]

Paleontologists recently found a fossil thigh bone of a Tyrannosaurus that was so well preserved that scientists could actually isolate proteins from the sample. By comparing the proteins found in the T. rex to proteins in other animals, scientists were able to see which animal the T. rex’s proteins most closely resemble. And, tah-frickin’-dah, the protein was almost spot on with that of a chicken, showing “the first molecular evidence of this link between birds and dinosaurs.” Just something to think about next time you have KFC.

They seem to have gotten a lot shorter then the were back then.

Totally. There are a lot of similarities in many dinosaurs to modern day birds

 

[JanieDough]

But not just any bird - the CHICKEN

 

[freakofnature]

Not so scary anymore, eh?

I don't know. A 40' chicken with foot-long teeth would still make me run like I was on fire!

 

[Zorak]

I'm scared of fucking big bird and he's only the size of a man

The article is from 2007!

As soon as I opened the link I thought I'd read a similar article years ago and was feeling déjà vu lol

 

[itsmeJonB]

Haha chicken or not that's a mu fuckin t rex

Also, wouldn't it be weird to stop imagining dinosaurs with scales and replace them with feathers?

 

[JanieDough]

yeah I'm looking for a website I had bookmarked a few years ago, and I am browsing through all these blogs I used to go on and trying to find this one website.

It's not working!!!

I'm pretty sure it was off of Dark Roasted Blend, but that website is freaking ridiculous with all the stuff so I keep stopping to look at old articles.

 

[JanieDough]

haha! Ads at the top are KFC and Dinosaurs!

the t.rex would have had smaller but similar looking relatives which would have had similar D.N.A........a few of these might have survived and evolved

i want to know who these ancestors were that were being eaten

 

[Tuffdisc]

i want to know who these ancestors were that were being eaten

Errrrrr, ancestors who had to live with them

 

[JanieDough]

sky is alluding the fact that we didn't have ancestors that lived with dinosaurs.

Our ancestors (Cavemen??) came millions?? of years later
