got to agree with the posts above, the sheer irony of a dinosaur being used to promote cigarettes:) maybe it was cancer that killed him and the fire was just a cover up story:)

Does anyone know if this was the same giant dinosaur featured in “The Wizard,” that 80s movie about the mentally retarded kid who was absurdly good at video games?

Using a dinosaur to represent smoking seems somehow appropriate. I can’t wait until they become extinct.

My understanding was that there was some incident with an asteroid or something.
Or have i misunderstood?

What is strange to me is that the remains are still gray colored and in the photo on the “official word” the body doesn’t look burned at all, just dismembered. I assume the lone egg has now been destroyed since mother can no longer protect it…sad sad days.

If the fire happened on June 22 2008, this area sure recovered fast!
