Protein has been extracted from a T-rex fossil, and apparently shares a strong resemblance to chicken protein. This has helped answer an extremely important scientific question - did dinosaurs taste like chicken?

Secondly, it also presents further evidence that modern day birds are indeed the descendants of dinosaurs.

For me, the most important question is: are they going to recreate dinosaurs from this protein, and will I be allowed to eat some?

I wrote the above just for you.

xD (tyrano)saurus-ca-bobs? Tasty.

Hasn't there always been some funky link between birds and dinosaurs?

All I know about it is from what I've seen on Jurassic Park. Hardly makes me an expert... XD
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

Seems like a step down in the evolutionary process if you look at that picture...

But hey, birds are cool too. They have some awesome relatives.

Well there's an association I never would've thought of... then again, I never thought the whale could have once been a land mammal.
