I'd hit it!
Would you call T. Rex a chicken?

Yesterday's T. Rex is today's chicken

By Dan Vergano, USA TODAY Fri Apr 13, 6:43 AM ET


The discovery of traces of flesh in a 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex bone ties the King of the Dinosaurs to modern-day species and, scientists say, heralds a "milestone" shift in paleontology.
"Based on the small sample we've recovered, chickens may be the closest relatives (to T. rex)," says geneticist John Asara of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, co-leader of a team reporting the discovery of faint traces of chicken-like bone lining preserved inside a dinosaur drumstick.

In studies reported in the journal Science, Asara and colleagues conclude that seven traces of proteins detected in purified T. rex bone most closely match those reported in chickens, followed by frogs and newts.

When I was younger I was chased a lot by a rooster so does this mean I know what it feels like to be chased by a T. Rex? :lol:

Sure, you make up some phony nickname on a web site and call Carl Everett a girl, but you wouldn't say that to his face.

Bad news, Scooter. I just got this in an e-mail....

This is Very Disturbing - This was sent to me so I'm just sharing the information.

KFT-R has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many people, day in and day out, eat at KFT-R religiously. Do they really know what they are eating? During a recent study of KFT-R done at the University of New Hampshire, they found some very upsetting facts.

First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the company has changed their name? Kentucky Fried T-Rex has become KFT-R. Does anybody know why? We thought the real reason was because of the "FRIED" food issue. It's not. The reason why they call it KFT-R is because they can not use the words T-Rex anymore. Why? KFT-R does not use real T-Rex's.

They actually use genetically manipulated organisms. These so called "T-Rex's" are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no claws, no short stumpy arms, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them. This is great for KFT-R because they do not have to pay so much for their production costs. There is no more de-clawing of the legs or smotthing of the rough skin.

The government has told them to change all of their menus so they do not say T-Rex anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this. Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word T-Rex. I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know.

Please forward this message to as many people as you can. Together we make KFT-R start using real T-Rex again.
