Just because a certain species of primates shows a significant enlargement of brain doesn't mean it always uses it:

As long as they can match in speed with their victims it's no problem - or do you want to tell me that the giant sauropods were very
fast?

Sauropsids generally don't have rooted teeth. So what? Are teeth of crocodiles rooted? No.
Do crocodiles feed on flowers?
Don't you realise the ridiculousness of your permanent attempt to weaken scientific evidence?

Do crocodiles need to grip things well? Do wolves strangle deer?

Do you have an authoritative source for these assumptions? What kind of dinosaurs are you talking about?

If there's a hell they will burn in it for sure. This is my firm belief.

| (...) No doubt in my mind. (...) People are a nice meal for lions, and tigers, and bears, and pirannahs, and sharks, and all sorts of carnivores/omnivores, but we seem to be surviving just fine. Perhaps your idea of a Trex isn't what you imagine (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
