DINOSAUR TEETH (Tyrannosaurus rex) - 8 1/2 Inches

Meet the business end of “Jimmy”
"The largest Tyrannosaurus Rex ever discovered"

Tyrannosaurus rex has become the most widely recognized dinosaur species in popular culture. This winter the Royal Ontario Museum has added to our renowned collection of dinosaur skeletons, with a new discovery. ‘Jimmy’ the nick name for the largest known Tyrannosaurus rex will join our dinosaur gallery along with fascinating fossil birds, mammals, insects and plants of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

 

"Tyrannosaurids had a large, powerful skull and jaws.  The design of the skull bones enabled it to absorb great stress without damage.  The large curved teeth were serrated and thicker than other typical therapod teeth of laterally compressed design.  This enabled the teeth of tyrannosaurs to puncture thick hide and tendons, crush bone with ease and hold up under the extreme bite force of the jaw muscles."

List the social media venues you declined to be a part of and why:

Friendster - Multiply - especially MySpace

They are not that interesting anymore, by not being updated such as Facebook.

Also, MySpace has begun modifying its policies--for example, limiting adults' ability to contact minors. That's hardly enough. Requiring some kind of authentication from MySpacers--or their parents--to validate their ages and identities would go a long way toward scaring off the creeps and making the site a kinder, gentler social network. MySpace is a headache we don't need.

Facebook is SO much better than MySpace! There's no fee. It's also clutter-free, unlike myspace (although it's starting to change with all the applications people are coming up with!). 

*List the one Social Media venue you use the most and why:

Facebook, it's a great way of getting in touch with old friends as well keeping in contact with your current friends, family and colleagues. I'd say it was hugely better than Myspace in almost every way.

It helps me to connect with my friends by chatting, updating profiles,  and showing interesting stuff by uploading pictures.

Write a paragraph on why or why not Social media play a prominent role in your day to day life:

Social media is mostly about social networking, I believe it does and should still play a prominent role in our day to day life because it is very helpful to people. For example, it is the best way for one person to meet up with other people on the Net. That's not all though. Some people use social networking sites for meeting new friends on the Net. Others use it to find old friends. Then there are those who use it to find people who have the same problems or interests they have.
