Why Did The T-Rex Cross The Road? One of the great scientific mysteries of the 20th Century was, without a doubt, "how fast could a Tyrannosaurus Rex run?" with various schools of thought arguing that they lumbered slowly, while others believed that they could speedy death machines. Now, too researchers believe they have definitively proven that T. Rex was not made for speed. Part of the research included, due to the relevant similarities between a T. Rex and a chicken, using a computer simulation to determine how fast a 13,228-pound chicken would be able to move. The answer--not very fast. And when you check out the article, be sure to follow the link about the three-legged chicken created by science. (Artwork by Luis Rey)
