Default Which Dinosaur Are You?

In honor of the recent saurian finds (not to mention the brandy), here's a little quiz from the National Geographic.

Strangely enough, Tyrannosaurus Rex here.

i think i'm also a T Rex- my head is really big, my legs are fat, and my arms are all but useless for killing prey.

Velociraptor!
Yeah, right! I've got a top speed measured in furlongs/fortnight!

It said I was a Dilophosaurus. I found that surprising and quite apt- as that was always one of my favorite dino's.

T. Rex here, you never figure from my body. I wonder when Gillian takes it she would get T. Ren.

I just thought of an anti-creationist cartoon:

God saying to two T-rexes, "you must not eat the humans of the knowledge of good and.......wait, where's little Jimmy?"

No, but it automatically requires you to celebrate in Canadian when you score a hat trick, eh?
