The T-Rex was the ultimate predator. It had a bird brain, would you believe.
As expected, I have watched the Jurassic Park films. That T-Rex is terrifying. It weighed thousands of tons, could run at speeds of 60 miles per hour and its teeth were like a chainsaw. Who wouldn't be scared? I am very glad it's extinct. I also think with genetics that this deadly dinosaur must NEVER be genetically engineered. Just watch Jurassic Park for the reason why.
But that's the way the world is, James: if you don't look like you deserve that desk, you're not going to get that desk.
Moving from another topic and the tendency to do everything online these days how long before the virtual world not only seems but becomes more real than the current real one? A scary dream that cannot really hurt but will seem so real that it actually does? Even the thought is scary

Kind of like the Matrix? I bet some people will have heart attacks from some of the scarier things the more realistic it becomes.
I don't know if virtual reality will become more real than reality, but equally as real, probably... Some might prefer that because their lives aren't so great to begin with. A happy fantasy world where everything is perfect.... I think a lot of people would love to get whisked away into that world even for just a few hours a day... but how does one break away from that to return to their real life if it's superior?
I wonder, how would food taste exclusively in our mind? I imagine it would only be as if eating food while having congestion.. where you can't really taste much of anything but get a hint. I don't know if our minds are strong enough to recreate taste enough to be satisfied in a false reality if food is something someone really enjoys ;p

I haven't seen the Matrix for some time now but we have the collection. I remember that as it was pretty much impossible to discount it and reality could be like that. Following on from this and thinking about what Karen has just mentioned about War of the Worlds, I remember one time when in my teens and walking with a friend after datrk out in the countryside. He gave me a piece of chocolate and as I put it into my mouth he said it was a certain type of dark chocolate I detested. I instantly tasted it and vomited! Needless to say, it was actually ordinary milk chocolate that I loved but the strong suggestion that it was not actually changed my thinking of the taste. The power of the mind and danger of manipulation is very great, in my experience.
I wonder how many different species there are that we don't know ever exist. i am sure we will never know But I am also sure we will be finding new ones from time to time.
It's always fun to find something new.. although, maybe we already found pieces of them before and assumed it was something else we already knew about because we didn't have the entire body lol

That is very true.
For instance who would ever assemble a duck billed platypus?

I don't know. It does seem a deadly part of the world though as, although they may not be around now, there is the Nile crocodile
Imagine wading into the ocean and seeing something coming towards you so you run out of the ocean and to your horror the four legged creature runs out and chases you down :-(

I used to have a recurrant dream like that but don't remember the details.
You remind me of the sea anyway. I put off my son a little from swimming when I found some strange almost invisible (jelly?) creature. In a sandcastle bucket I collected it in it was only possible to see it when the light hit it in the right direction. t was about the size of a walnut but a perfect sphere. That day I found several different tiny jelly like creatures. They were all over and it was like being in a soup of them. Another time, elsewhere, I flicked a dab (fish) out of the sand just in the surf. It could only be seen by a dip in the sand and I scooped underneath it. I do wonder sometimes what I am swimming in
