According to smart people, Tyrannosaurus Rex has feathers and little wings. This is new to me.

As a fan of huge monster lizards... or huge monster chickens, I thought this was very interesting. Does this mean every single movie or picture you ever saw of a T-rex is wrong?

So they were furry cuddly critters? There goes my childhood.

But seriously this is interesting stuff that has apparently been known for a while now. It is worth taking a look at the original Nature paper referenced there, the press is not to be trusted with this sort of stuff (i.e., see "http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=1623")

The feathers didn't surprise me, but the winglets sure did. though to be fair our view of dinosaurs are still changing

here is something you may want to see

T.Rex.Autopsy
T-Sex is already officially extinct.
So we cant bring them back anyway.

hmm.. I would recommend t-sex. =D
glad my childhood is spent in an era where dinosaurs are cool giant lizards you wish you could ride.
This planet's previous owners evolved into giant murderous chickens? This explains so much about the world's current state.

We've stumbled apon some profound secret here, the universe is psychotic. Humanity is going to do well I think.
lol according to smart people[i][/i], i think that explains a lot,

as other mentioned, i too have heard about it some time ago, as of now just waiting for a jurrasic park to happen
This is strange. I though everyone knew T-Rex had feathers since the late 1960's.
But back then they were known as Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Making fun of smart people in a post with grammar mistakes also says something.

Sorry, but you walked right into that one. :P
Ohh, that sneaky Archeopteryx!

TL;DR

SPOILER ALERT...

Dinosaurs are actually Dragons. This should not be news to anyone, as the difference between the 2 is largely semantics anyway.

There are depictions of Dragons from all over the world, and a saint was credited with killing one. We ate them all. gg no re.

It was pretty obvious that the gimp armed T-rex, and other Dinosaurs, were not modeled correctly from the start.

So save yourself 30+ years of "mind-blowing" Dinosaur discoveries by calling them Dragons now. Heh.
