Good show. Did you know TRex was a wimp? Some say he was not the big bad dino the movies made him out to be. Of course I would not want to meet one in a dark place without being in a tank.

I bet one day Mankind will offer hunting trips to bag yourself a T Rex. From Cloning or Timetravel or another planet.

according to an article i read on slashdot (last spring) when comparing the DNA of the T.Rex to all other DNA samples the closest match was a chicken.

Hmm,... interesting indeed!

The family tree they were using in the documentary was birds coming off the tree of the dinosaurs before crocodillians,... but if t-rex is more chicken than crocodile and t-rex was feathered,... hmmm,..

Science sure is cool.

Lookit that picture of "Sue",.... that arm really COULD be a chicken wing, don't you think? ;)

those were some large drumsticks. imagine the creationist art based off these finding. "cowboy" Moses on an apatasaurus tending to a flock of T. Rexes. "ohh Moses, is there anything you cant accomplish in ten steps."

(one of my dictionary corrections for apatasaurus is brontosaurus :))

Actually, the soft tissue where scientists got this DNA info is what Creationists are all excited about. DNA is not supposed to survive for 65 million years, and therefore science is a big fat lie and God wins! DUH!
