Fun facts about T.Rex.

There were a few billion of them over 2.5 million years.

And they couldn't play the piano. Their arms were too short. I'm guessing they could handle a Ukulele though.

T Rex farts caused global change... and their extinction. j/k

PS: Was kinda hoping the topic was about the band. Back when music was.... better.

Well they were around for 2.5 million years so one would think they had some sort of advanced entertainment capacity.

I mean chowing down on Triceratops all day every day would probably get boring after a few hundred thousand years.

I'm thinking, when they first saw the meteor they may have been at least humming, the times they are a changin'.

Here's the spot, where on 16 Sept. 1977, near Gypsy Lane, Barnes, West London, the meteor struck.

I lived just 'round the corner, didn't hear a thing.
