Undeadskeptic Posted January 25, 2009 #51 Share Posted January 25, 2009 It was just semantics to play along with the 'dinosaurs are birds' topic. Relax, man. DC? Relax? Do you know this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undeadskeptic Posted January 25, 2009 #52 Share Posted January 25, 2009 One problem with the surviving dino theory is the 65m years of evolution that people seem to forget. A T-rex would have changed quite a bit over that period of time, so much so that it might not even look like a T-rex any more. Yes, I'm aware that crocs haven't really changed that much, but they are a specialized predator that is extremely well suited to it's environment. Mother nature doesn't change what already works. A T-rex would be a different story, it would have had to continually adapt to an ever changing world, new environments, new prey, even new atmosphere. There's no telling what one would be like if it had survived. I doubt it would look the same as 65mya. JMO It would look like a bird, hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2F Posted January 26, 2009 #53 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It would look like a bird, hehe Probably look like an Ostrich or Emu. Either that or a humming bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormcrow Posted January 26, 2009 #57 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Baww, they're not all bad. XD I kind of liked their movie Dragon Storm, the CGI was actually really nice compared to a lot of their other awfully shoddy movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormcrow Posted January 26, 2009 #60 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Two words, Ebonykrow. Alien Express. I IMDB'd it, had no idea what it was, rofl. But, oh god. XDD The reviews were hilarious... I didn't think the plot synopsis was true, but jeez. I didn't think their movies could get worse than that Sabertooth movie or whatever it was. I have been sadly mistaken.

Drago Posted January 26, 2009 #61 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Get this. Two guys, supposed to be on top of a train going 70 miles per hour. And they're standing straight up and their hair/clothes aren't even moving in the wind. The whole movie pretty much upholds these production values.

Golden Hawk Posted January 27, 2009 #64 Share Posted January 27, 2009 t-rex could be an average day pigeon!!!! O_o and a raptor could be an owl!!!!!!!!!!!! O_o i never heard of this theory. Actually T-Rex would be the eqivilant of any raptor bird. Some very early ancestors of Rex had feathers, and, unfortunenately, gout . Gout is a joint disorder, similar to arthritis, except the swelling is in the soft tissue surrounding the bones. OH, that smarts ! According to experts the more intelligent a person is, the greater chance that they will develop gout; Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein were two such sufferers of the disease.

DJK0320 Posted January 28, 2009 #66 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Not all carnivores are smart. Wasn't it proven that Rex had a very little brain? poor guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catutie Posted January 28, 2009 #67 Share Posted January 28, 2009 a little brain doesnt mean anything. we may have big brains but we only use like 10% of it. i think if you were a predator you would have heightened senses and you could move a lot faster and a lot stealthier. if not then they would die of starvation.

Drago Posted January 28, 2009 #68 Share Posted January 28, 2009 DJK0320: T-rex's brain was relatively small, yes. But when you're as big and powerful as Rexy, you don't need a lot of brain power.

Drago Posted January 28, 2009 #70 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The quote was originally read by me from a John Ringo book, who gave the impression it's a common military machismo line and so has no real identifiable source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me of Samuel L. Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
