Breakdancing is one of those things that was trivial as a kid and a massive feat as an adult. Still, that kid was Born to Serve.

I don't know, he neglected to mention ancient sharks. Megalodons are pretty badass, especially when you start to fathom the scale. Imagine walking into a shark's mouth.

Although Megalodons are still dwarfed by Blue Whale's, the most massive animal to ever exist. Badass.

I'm sure blue whales are gentle giants, but I owned a silver arowana and let me tell you something about fish(or possibly whales). The don't need to be aggressive in order to attempt to eat anything that can fit into its mouth.

A blue whale can't swallow anything larger than a grapefruit. So I'm not sure what exactly happens to things that would go in its mouth but not be small enough to swallow. I guess you'd just get spat out.
That does not mean that you wouldn't get hurt during the process.

This is extra funny to me because I have pictures of two of those things on my phone that I took, bagger something and megalodon jaws.

Also here's a pick of a GIRAFFOTITAN skeleton. That it's real name, and it's pretty badass.

So basically, it's me.

In a book on the making of the Panama Canal there was a picture of the lock gates under construction taken from the floor of the lock. They looked like the Black Gates of Mordor.

It used to be called Brachiosaurus. It's in the Berlin Museum of Natural History. That particular specimen is the tallest mounted dinosaur in the world.

This confused me for a minute so here:

wikipedia posted:

When describing the brachiosaurid material from Tendaguru in 1914, Janensch listed a number of differences and commonalities between them and B. altithorax.[36] In three further publications in 1929,[37] 1950 [45] and 1961[46] Janensch compared the two species in more detail, listing 13 putative shared characters.[5] Of these, however, only four appear to be valid, while six pertain to more inclusive groups than Brachiosauridae, and the rest are either difficult to assess or refer to material that is not Brachiosaurus.[5]

In 1988, Gregory Paul published a new reconstruction of the skeleton of "B." brancai, highlighting a number of differences in proportion between it and B. altithorax. Chief among them is a difference in the way the trunk vertebrae vary: they are fairly uniform in B. altithorax, but vary widely in the African material. Paul believed that the limb and girdle elements of both species were very similar, and therefore suggested to separate them not at genus, but only at subgenus level.[7]

Giraffatitan was raised to genus level by Olshevsky without comment.[32] A detailed study of all material, including the limb and girdle bones, by Michael Taylor in 2009 found that there are significant differences between Brachiosaurus altithorax and the Tendaguru material in all elements known from both species. Taylor found 26 distinct osteological (bone-based) characters, a larger difference than that between, e.g., Diplodocus and Barosaurus, and therefore argued that the African material should be placed in its own genus, Giraffatitan, as G. brancai.[5] An important difference between the two genera is the overall body shape, with Brachiosaurus having a 23% longer dorsal (trunk) vertebrate series and a 20 to 25% longer and also taller tail.[5]

So Giraffatitan is a separate genus from Brachiosauridae. Brachiosaurus is still a dinosaur, albeit stupider looking.

Yeah, that's where I took the picture

The rest of the museum is not that impressive, but if any of you ever find yourself in berlin it's like 4� and the dinosaur skeletons are really cool.

It's always staggering to me just how massive a lot of those prehistoric skeletons are, and even modern animal ones. I mean yeah, in pictures they look big, but until you're next to one physically, it's night and day comparison. I remember seeing a whale skeleton as a kid in a UK Natural History museum (think it was a blue whale, not sure though) and I must've stared slack-jawed at it for a solid 5 minutes like "whoa...that's freaking HUGE :aaa:

Reminds me of a local museum I would go to as a kid had ice-age era moose ancestors on display, and the things' kneecaps were higher than me, let alone the whole huge stilty body that had to be over 2 stories tall. I took my kid there last summer and was disappointed to see they weren't there anymore, though there was tons of cool stuff still to see.

Probably something similar. The museum is in Michigan, and the animal was taxidermized, not just skeletons. They still have fetuses in jars there meanwhile to freak you out though.
