Okay, I might buy the idea that a T-Rex could play one of those little ukuleles, but not a full-sized guitar!

And how could it do effective "fretting" using just two fingers (and no thumb), with the fingers tipped with sharp claws! Rolling Eyes

A T Rex arm is bigger than yours, the trouble is with only two fingers it can't work the fretboard.

This is an enjoyable video in which an actual palenontologiest examines the dinosaurs in many Hollywood productions.

I'm going to post this in threads for other movies which feature dinosaurs. Very Happy

Bah! It's obvious why the T Rex was mean. His arms were so short he couldn't scratch his butt when it itched! Also, he couldn't reach his pee-pee to either relieve himself to urinate or masturbate!

How would you feel?

Knowing Bud, I bet he'd be cranky !!!

Gord, you are brilliant! Cool

Your comment opens up a myriad of possibilities concerning the true nature of the T-rex! Chief among these possibilities is the idea that it was actually an intelligent creature who was surrounded by witless animals!

Imagine the frustration this must have caused! It would be like being a teenage genius, surrounded by clueless high school students.

Add to this the idea that the T-Rex was like a teenager who was tortured by his natural desire for all those hot young cheerleaders who pranced through the halls and strutted their stuff at the football games! Shocked






I can truly identify with the terrible frustration of that poor, virile T-Rex! To be a king without a queen . . . to be feared throughout his realm . . . to be envied by all the creatures in his kingdom!

And yet, he's incapable of "scratching his itch" — even when it's that terrible itch which drives men mad! Sad

Gentlemen, please . . . a moment of silence for the world's most tortured king.

Were you guys asleep when they said all the dinosaurs were female? Sure, it didn't work on all the raptors, but there's no reason to think the Rex was a king and not a queen.

And, um, you guys do know that dinos, like 97% of birds, apparently don't have the same "parts" as most mammals do. Two words: "cloacal kiss".

Just to clarify, the discussion is about the T-Rex of prehistoric times, not just the ones in Jurassic Park. (And this is all just in fun anyway, not a serious discussion.)

On that note,Tyrannosaurs Rex means "king dinosaur". If gender was actually a factor, the females would be called Tyrannosaurus Rigna — Latin for "queen dinosaur"!
Very Happy

My joke being that cloacal animals, as dinosaurs likely were, probably couldn't self-pleasure, male or female, tiny arms or not. Smile

Ah, now I understand. Very Happy

I guess my confusion stems from the fact that "being unable to self-pleasure" is no laughing matter to a single 75-year-old guy! Sad
