I bet it tasted like chicken...

Interesting. I remember the first time I saw an article in National Geographic about a dinosaur with feathers, I was very surprised. Like most, I thought they were reptiles until then...now it looks like they were closer to birds. Now we know a number of them had feathers and behaved a lot like modern birds too.

That explains one big question I always had though. How did something as big as Tyrannosaurus or Brontosaurus hold itself up, and how did it manage to grow enough muscle to move huge bones that had to be incredibly heavy? They also had hollow bones like birds. Then it made sense...Hollow means stronger and lighter.
