DNA analysis shows that chickens are more similar to Tyrannosaurus Rex than any other living animal.
Not sure how "they" came up with that conclusion since the half life of DNA under ideal conditions is 521 years, meaning under 2M years its completely unreadable.

I love science. As long as it IS science and not a hunch handed down by an “authority”.
The proposition that "DNA analysis shows that chickens are more similar to Tyrannosaurus Rex than any other living animal." is what we who studied science call "arm waving speculation". Why? Because the half life of DNA under ideal conditions is 521 years, meaning under 2M years its completely unreadable with respect to its original coding. Which means you need well preserved T-Rex remains that are well under 2M years old. Meanwhile they are fossil dated at about 66Myo.

I don't disagree, but it doesn't alter the requirements of comparing DNA of T-Rex and a chicken.


We’ll have to stay tuned for that .

I always thought that a kangaroo’s forefathers may have been been the likes of the T Rex, but it’s probably not going to turn out to be a fact.

Judging by the extent of this investigation this could be the death of Rap. How good would that be? 🌟

I would bet that there are more Hollywood personalities worried about the investigation than there are rappers. Combs was rubbing elbows (and apparently other appendages) with a lot of celebrities.

The moment you realise that Hollywood movie you were watching was propaganda......

The Rap culture is about to fall apart. I’m happy that the crimes are being exposed
There are a few good songs:California Love by Tupac a couple by Eminem, but not many when you consider how lucrative that genre was.

Oh yeah, totally. Like it fell apart when R Kelly was found to be what I expected all along - a pedo. Like rock music fell apart after there were some high profile arrests. Wake up, quit the clickbait and step into the real world for a change. Negative publicity is what that industry thrives on. If you have a culture where being a violent thug is the epitome of cool, don't expect a few felonies to detract from it. The Friggin' BBC never really even got blasted for the whole Saville ordeal. A sacrificial lamb or two are generally rolled out and business continues as usual.

I'm not an expert, but an old friend of mine was so I've a fair share of exposure. The key, I think, was Dr Dre. He knew how to make catchy loops and beats.

I genuinely sometimes wonder why you share all the clickbait here instead of simply leaving it where it belongs; the dregs of the Internet. Are you short on attention?

Sacrificial lamb is very accurate, and there have been a few through the years. It focuses all the public attention on the chosen lamb while the other perverts slink back into the shadows and continue doing their sleazy crap.
