There is a theory that the Tyrannosaurus Rex actually used its arms for gentle lovemaking with partners.

But one paleontologist from the University of Hawaii says the predator was less of a Casanova and those arms were actually “vicious weapons.”

Albeit tiny, Steven Stanley says “It’s short, strong forelimbs and large claws would have permitted T-Rex, whether mounted on a victim’s back or grasping it with its jaws, to inflict four gashes 3 feet or longer and several centimeters deep within a few seconds,” according to National Geographic.

Ennio Morricone: The Story Of A Soldier Lyrics

Bugles are calling
from prairie to shore,
"Sign up" and "Fall in"
and march off to war.
Drums beating loudly,
Hearts beating proudly
Match Blue and Grey
And smile as you say Goodbye.
Smoke hides the valleys
And fire paints the plains.
Loud roar the cannons
'Til ruin remains:
Blue grass and cotton
Burnt and forgotten
All hope seems gone
So soldier march on to die.
There in the distance
A flag I can see,
Scorched and in ribbons
But whose can it be;
How ends the story,
Whose is the glory,
Ask if we dare
Our comrades out there who sleep.



R.I.P. Jill Clayburgh.
