Objects In Mirror May Be Closer Than They Appear

T. rex could catch a human, simulations show

"Humans are fortunate not to have lived alongside Tyrannosaurus rex. The most sophisticated computer analysis of the gait of several two-legged dinosaurs suggests that even the lumbering T. rex could have kept up with an athlete. Smaller dinosaurs, like the Velociraptor, could have outpaced the fastest humans with considerable ease."

I knew after Jurassic Park how much I didn't want to live in the age of the Velociraptor.

That movie had great humor in it, aside from it's shortcomings it was a lot of fun. But you're right, those raptors wouldn't be pleasant to meet up with on a hike in the park!
