No, meaning that once upon a time I had money to piss away on such things.

Although if say Richard Dawkins was coming to town I wouldn't pay $25 to go see him even if I could afford it.

I don't consider this "pissing away money", but to each their own I guess.

SM

Quite.  Just don't see any logic.  Paying money to listen to a guy you don't like.  Like paying money to go to a Nickelback concert.

They're not worth the nickel you won't get back.

Why would you go pay for a Nickelback concert anyway?

SM's post just killed me.  :D

TITANOSAUR

back on topic,

I personaly think T-Rex was both a predator and a scavanger (it would only scavange if it realy needs too). I don't get why horner is saying it was only a scavanger. something about its small arms and the femur being longer then the tibia, or somthing like that. but my argument is that the Metatarsals would compensate for the short tibia. (if you can get used to standing on your toes then your complete foot, you'll notice you can go a little faster then usual) I mean, until we can either clone a purely genetic copy of a Tyrannosaurus or we build a time machine to find out for ourselfs when we get chased by it, I'm gonna stick by with it being Both a hunter, and a scavanger.

btw, isn't a chicken the closest reletive to a T-Rex? or was that proven wrong?

They are rather distant relatives, T-Rex wasn't even a maniraptoran. Not to mention the 65 million year gap.

The chicken is considered the closest living relative by sheer virtue of there being no other candidates.

That's what Horner touched on in his lecture. Discussion here.
