The reason for the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago has been contentiously debated over the course of many decades. The debate has spaked not only great scientific but also religious controversty. One of the theories that has caught on in recent years is that a giant slice of the asteroid Baptisima hit the earth, and under the halo of debris it kicked up into the atmosphere, the dinosaurs died in a sustained winter.
But a recent description of the sex-life of the T-Rex has provided me with a much more compelling explanation.
The T-Rex weighed approximately 7 tons, and its arms were far too short and weak to enable it to hold itself in place during lovemaking. So, the standard procedure seems to have been for the male to mount its partner and sink its 60, nine-inch long, conical teeth, which exerted some 1.5 tons of force, into his partner's back to hold her in place so that coitus could be brought to completion.
I now think, therefore, that an asteroid impact theory of dinosaur extinction is entirely superfluous. It's far more likely that, at a certain point, both male and female dinosaurs looked each other over, realized what would be necessary, and, saying "to hell with this!", simply chose extinction over continued coupling.
A similar fate may await the human species, as increasing numbers of human beings divorce and, suddenly faced with the prospect of having to date again, make the same inescapable choice the T-Rex once did.
