Oh, I wouldn't be so hard on our friend T-rex. Sure, a skinny Hollywood actress may have slipped through his fingers (and probably were not worth eating), but the forelimbs of _T. rex_ were probably useful for embracing *something*. Maybe they served as grappling devices, to help secure large prey that was held by the powerful jaws. Like hadrosaurs, or even titanosaurs (in the American SW, anyway).

Cheers

Tim
