Kentucky Fried Rex.

Quote:

Protein extracted from 68 million-year-old T. rex bones has shed new light on the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds.
Researchers compared organic molecules preserved in the T. rex fossils with those of living animals, and found they were similar to chicken protein.

The discovery of protein in dinosaur bones is a surprise - organic material was not thought to survive this long.

A US team of researchers have published the finding in Science journal.

The team says their technique could help reveal evolutionary relationships between other living and extinct organisms.

The finding is consistent with the idea that birds can trace a direct evolutionary line to dinosaurs

What I found totally fascinating about this, isn't so much that T-Rex has similarities to chicken.....we've known about birds being the likely descendants of dinosaurs for a fair while now...but the fact that they managed to find testable soft tissues in dinosaur remains. That blows my mind.

I don't mean to be stupid but I would love to see them clone a dinosaur for study. Imagine what it would mean to science.

I think it's an impossibility. But yeah, it'd be fucking awesome.

When it comes to science I do not not think anything is impossible.

KFT: May I take your order?
Me: Yes, I'd like an 8 piece bucket.
KFT: That will be $6000, please pull your trailer up to the window.

hahahah. I have visions of the flintstones:P

Does that mean T-Rex tastes like chicken?

imagine chucking the bones down for the cat!!

If they did clone a Kentuckey Fried Rex, some one would have to keep a close eye on it. Anyone remember what the three guards names should be?

well... they say everything tastes like chicken.. wonder what a value meal would be? finger? toe? or some less mentionable part?
