Sue T-Rex

Wouldn't you know it but Win Vista has a very simple photo editor built in. Here's a picture of Lucy the T-Rex at the Chicago Field Museum. I've wanted to see the Field Museum ever since I saw the huge dinosaur (some cousin of a brontosaur or another) next to United Customer Service in O'Hare. Now that is quite an advertisement! Overall, I'm not too fond of stuffed dead animals but I really enjoyed the fossils and minerals. Imagine what Sue was like when she was alive!

Tyrannosaurus Rex

There he is, King Dino himself, Tyrannosaurus Rex. He is the reason I visited the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. Not some poor, tired stuffed lion. Rather, a huge pile of bones that conjures up even huger and scarier thoughts about what he was when he was alive. Although, if you look at him just right, he does kind of look like a big chicken with teeth. Hmmmm... Maybe there is something to birds having evolved from dinosaurs after all.
