        Is John Trivolta in "Dinosaur Fever"?  
        Neanderthals are no mystery here in Texas; they are often our
neighbors.  I think one of mine is a
        Clovis Man, in fact.

        Would a Tyrannosaur getting Denise Richard's brain be considered a

        Could a T.rex even function with Denise Richard's brain?
        Wouldn't this constitute extinct animal abuse?
        The mind boggles!
