A better question would be how many coconuts would a T-Rex have to consume in order to sustain itself.

And how come no other coconut eating creatures alive today have 6in steak knife-like teeth?

Hey, they just flipped the picture from frame 5 of dinosaur comics!


In Genesis 1:30 God gives ?green herb? to every creature to eat and so there were no predators. When a curious museum visitor asks, why exactly T. rex had six-inch long serrated teeth, the guides go on to explain that T. rex used his big teeth to open coconuts. Apparently it was only after Adam and Eve sinned and were cast out of paradise that the dinosaurs started to eat flesh.
If that was true, animals that eat nuts would all have pointy teeth, too. We don't see many squrrels or chipmunks with rows of tiny dagger-like teeth.

Do I get a cut if you use my slogan?

As for design... I picture a T-Rex with buggy eyes juggling coconuts on a stage which is on Noahs Ark with human families standing and sitting around a fire clapping and holding their bibles in the air. Tropical background. Make the humans look like dressed up cavemen. My slogan on top of it all "T-Rex was koo koo for coconuts!" The humans should be cooking lamb meat over the fire, lol. Make the bibles look like stone tablets. T-Rex should also have a coconut cracked in his mouth as he eats it etc.

We'll work something out! I was thinking the exact same "koo koo for coconuts" thing - I wasn't thinking about juggling the nuts, but strategic placement of said coconuts, similar to the 'protect your nuts' shirt...or something like that...

People never point out that T. Rex ate coconuts for an anti-evolutionary purpose as well. The professor needed coconut shells in order to create prototypes and complete experiments in hopes of making a coconut radio. Without such a radio, the castaways would never get off the tropical paradise. The resulting population would exhibit genetic drift phenomenon and eventually lead to the type of things that non-god fearer Darwin saw. With out coconut munching T. Rex's who know what the world would be like.

Me, too.

Me three.

And I doubt that the T-Rex ate coconuts...it just doesn't seem right that an animal of that size would eat something smaller than his toenail...

ok, aside from facts in paleontology, you would think that these people would have seen Jurassic Park and got the idea that T-Rex's sharp teeth weren't used to crack coconut shells, or chew on a bale of hay.
