"The smallest dinosaur could reach speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour and even the lumbering Tyrannosaurus rex would have been able to outrun most modern-day sportsmen," according to new scientific study.

"Even T-rex, who wasn't incredibly fast, could chase down footballer David Beckham."

Astounding!

Science truly is amazing, isn't it? After all, without the benefit of extensive research and elaborate computer models, who would have guessed that the largest—and most dangerous—carnivorous predator of all time would be able to chase down a gimpy 30-something year old Englishman without even breaking a sweat?
