Not the right thread but still.

Few people who watch the film know that Marcus was one of the greatest men of all time.

Read 'Meditations' folks - which the poor bastard wrote in tents between battles whilst trying to shore up his empire.

Bits and bobs and more on the palaeontological version of the Rosetta Stone.

Ya, looks interesting, Keys. And I can just about get my tongue round the name.
Without sounding as if I'm cursing or sneezing.

What allowed sauropods to become so very massive and what stopped them from becoming even more titanic?

The discussion in the comments section is excellent.

I think they are awesome and every animal is beautiful in it's own way - no one is sure of the maximum size of those buggers either. The closest in terms of weight is the Tasmanian giant crab (Pseudocarcinus gigas), these are rather small specimens at less than half of the maximum weight - but put your finger in their claws Nucks - I dare you!

Mmmm, wheres the melted butter?

I like dressed crab but hey, imagine dressing them? ...... you'd never get their fucking socks on for a start.
