T-Rex Was A Big Chicken

New analyses of soft tissue from a T.rex leg bone re-confirm that birds are dinosaurs' closest living relatives.

"We determined that T. rex, in fact, grouped with birds — ostrich and chicken — better than any other organism that we studied," said researcher John Asara of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. "We also show that it groups better with birds than [with] modern reptiles, such as alligators and green anole lizards."
This was mentioned somewhere in this forum recently. Today, this article or ones like it are all over the net.

Yeah! Somehow the idea of stuffing one of them is frightening!
