    Someone need to email the British Natural History Museum and ask the lads who have the T-Rex this question.


    See if we get a response.

    They'll probably say the T-Rex is unavailable for comment.

    Woah, hang on! The T-Rex is driving an Audi when scudzilla's Focus crashes into him?

    This changes everything...

    Yeah but you're belting a 1.3 ton wrecking ball at its leg at 120kph. The height makes it easier to survive as your not hitting the body.

    So long as the carcass doesn't fall on your roof after impact.
    120Kph is 33 meters a second and the body of the T-Rex is 2.5m above the ground and gravity is 9.81m/s so if you hit the T-Rex you're screwed because the leg would stop your car and unless you have on old style Volvo or Saab you'll be pancaked by many tonnes of an angry and adrenalin fuelled killing machine.

    Oh ya, what's a T-Rex with 2 broken legs going to do to me... wave frantically with those little twig arms.





    Crutches would be a bloody nightmare for them.

    He could flip you the bird.

    Although.. Tell me something..

    Have you heard about the bird?

    Important Info :

    https://what-if.xkcd.com/78/
    Q. If a T-rex were released in New York City, how many humans/day would it need to consume to get its needed calorie intake?


    A. About half of an adult, or one ten-year old child:

    Is that the Field museum in Chicago? I saw a full size T-rex skeleton there years ago.
    American Museum of Natural History in New York, was there last month myself.

    No with a Fiat 500, but maybe with a Range Rover (with bull bars fitted)?

    The 80s model estate volvo, that every doctor/shrink/dentist had witg a beard also. They should take bone no bother.. Shur that's why they had the little wipers on the lights for, to wipe away the T-Rex tears.

    I did the maths. (Googled a kinitec energy calculator) A 1.2 ton car going at 70mph (33.33 metered per second) would be over 650,000 joules.

    Hmmmm, considering its 70 mph a motorcycle would probably break its leg.

    From those images you would drive right between his legs and out the other end


    NB would love to see what you wrote on your insurance claim form too... ;)

    "You after knocking down my TRex boss, you'll have to pay. Family pet that TRex was. D Childers loved him do they did.

    "I'm very sorry, but it appears that's you hadn't your animal under control"

    That's not my TRex boss, never saw it before.

    the T Rex was a fire breathing dinosaur so i presume the car would be incinerated before it even reached its legs

    I'm getting worried there's a T-rex out there with a broken leg after Scudzilla did a hit and run on it. Everyone remembers that the reason the dodo is extinct is because Scudzilla ran them all over with his car.

    i had nothing to do with the extinction of the dinosaurs, they have us believe that a giant asteroid wiped them out but i'm having none of that bollocks either, they seriously expect us to believe every dinosaur in the world marched to this 1 spot and were hit by an asteroid, i don't think so, do they think i'm stupid

    Scud it's a great thread but you really are a monster. Look at this and have a good long think about yourself.

    My dog ran into the back of my leg and I fell over, so from this very scientific comparison, I say you'd absolutely break its leg.

    What's your dog's username, and how long has he/she been reading Boards?
