Study: Dinosaurs Faster than Beckham

“Our research, which used the minimum leg-muscle mass T-rex required for movement, suggests that while not incredibly fast, this carnivore was certainly capable of running and would have little difficulty in chasing down footballer David Beckham, for instance,” said Phil Manning, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester, who worked on the study.

Mr. Manning (who is not bitter at all about Beckham skipping over the pond in favor of the MLS) and I seem to think alike. We would both love to see a football game between the L.A. Galaxy and the Dinosaur National Team.
