So T. Rex is just a big chicken. I suspected as much.

alton brown did something like this on good eats. he took a skeletal model of a t rex and broke it down to where it resembled a chicken carcass. very interesting.

I don’t know. The way my peacocks strut and screech, they seem more like T Rex.

I have spent time at chicken ranches.
It’s true.
You can see it in their eyes when they look at you.

Mmmm. (ten)yard bird. I prefer white meat. You can have the drumstick. Who wants to break the wishbone?

So there should be lots of fossil remains of all the (thousands?) of animals in between the two.

But does it taste like chicken? Imagine what KFC could do with Dino DNA.

I have spent time at chicken ranches. We used to have a steakhouse here in town named 'The Chicken Ranch'. It was one of those infamous ones where the waitresses were nude. (not kidding)

Since they don’t really know what dinosaurs sounded like, it’d be funny if they ba-gawked instead of roared like in Jurassic Park.

Yeah. My peacocks have always looked like dinosaurs too—scary. And right now my parrots are looking at me funny... I made the mistake of reading this article out loud... !

T-rex is without descendants. Birds are descended from other lines of dinosaurs. Thus there is no intermediate btwn T-Rex and KFC.
