If you're interested - Clever dinosaurs? I think not

I was reading Kieran a bed-time story the other night...'Uncover a T. Rex'  a light-hearted three dimensional modelled look at the physiology and habits of Tyrannosaurus rex as paleontologists too numerous to mention percieve it to have existed...all hunky-dorey so far although for one so young and vibrant my lad seems to have a grim , even unhealthy obsession with the bowel habits of animals and crusty ,ancient creatures are no exception..he was therefore especially impressed with the size of  T.rex coprolites... after I had explained what they were of course...during a pause in giggles at the thought of T.rex poo the size of a small dog, Kieran mused upon what would have happened had Dinosaurs survived the meteor...Would  Tyrannosaurus rex have co-existed with us or would they have eaten us all up? he asked...Well...my instant response was that they would have scoffed us all up as I proceeded to loudly devour him in a T.rex fashion before tucking him off to sleep.

Kieran's question got me thinking though and I recalled a programme which I had caught a glimpse of a few months back on BBC about this very issue which had proferred the view that no extinction had occurred and that indeed T.rex and its contemporaries had evolved alongside the human race who, contrary to my answer to Kieran, had in fact still become dominant. I don't recall the programme's rational nor any evidence for this but after at least five minutes of deep thinking on the issue...Eureka! It struck me like the proverbial bolt from the blue.

If we accept the contentious belief that most of the great technological and scientific strides throughout history have been made by men, and obviously discard the view that this is simply a manifestation of the scandalous oppression of women through the ages, and then superimpose this model onto Dinosaurs and in particular to T.rex surely it becomes obvious to all sentient beings that Tyrannosaurus could never have evolved beyond  'teeth on legs' for one simple reason.

Those of you who are men will understand this immediately...those who are not will have no doubt observed it each day with loved ones..let us consider a genius... any one will suffice...Einstein...Da Vinci..take your pick...each morning he hauls himself out of bed ready to begin another hard day pushing the boundaries of man's knowledge..stretching himself to the limits of  his intellect to do so..but first man has to prime the engine and gird his loins by scratching his bollocks long and hard enough yea..even so that the grating can be heard throughout his domain as  a signal that man has awoken his testes...obviously where man's genitals lead his brain follows and ergo without his nuts getting scratched after a kip a man is little more than useless.

Obviously and sadly T.rex just couldn't cut it in the scrotum scratching stakes and so his demise was merely a matter of time with or without the KT extinction....simple really.
