    It's funny because Hollywood always has like the one lone TRex running around like he's the solo king of the jungle.

    I think they were solo hunters, though. So you'd probably expect to only see one at a time.

    Not if you were in the business of making T-Rex porn. Which is frankly an untapped market.

    That was total population over millions of years, not all at once.

    Yeah, I doubt Jerryd Bayless ever got into porn.

    They're obviously the 1% of dinosaurs and should have their taxes raised.

    That's what I was thinking. Think of the rear-leg thrust.

    They dont take up space as they are much taller than cubic feet taken on the ground.

    When I first read this on Google News before this thread, I thought, bullshit. To fit one-third of the current human population onto Earth at one time, the giant animals would have to live in cities with organized sewage disposal and street grids.

    But then I realized, yeah, it could have been. Even without electricity, maybe they used giant outhouses.

    I'm not sure the giants would have allowed the T-Rex to use their outhouses. There's nothing like that in the fossil record.

    I don't think T-Rexes can wipe their asses.

    I once used a fossil outhouse in Canada for 2 months. That thing was old, but the honeyman made his monthly pickups and we were fine in a nonelectric lake cottage.

    The dinosaurs might have developed wells for their urban water. My water was orange from rusty iron when I pumped it into a bucket. Carrying the heavy bucket 3 blocks made me grow 2 inches that summer.

    So I can prove that the Earth supported 2 1/2 billion big dinosaurs at one time. When's the game start?
