I was expecting a paleontology article when I clicked on the link to this NY Times blog. And while there was certainly a fair amount of science included in the piece, I also got this unusual reflection on the mating habits of the T. Rex.

I want to take a journey 68 million years back in time to see a Tyrannosaurus rex couple mating. What was it like? Did they trumpet and bellow and stamp their feet? Did they thrash their enormous tails? Did he bite her neck in rapture and exude a musky scent? Somehow, I imagine that when two T. rex got it on, the earth shook for miles around.

And if I could only take this journey, I could answer a question that sometimes bothers me. Did T. rex have a penis? Did he even, as lizards do, have two?

Uhhhhhhh. . . YEAH.

I'm pretty sure that the above will be the single most unusual thing i will read today.

And require years of therapy to expunge it from my brain.
