Death to the Lawyers!

ellefliesI finally bit the bullet and started weeding through all my Museum photos (Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, George C. Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits and the American Museum of Natural History). Being the anal retentive person who can't load a photo without obsessively tagging it and providing whatever info I can find on it, it's involved quite a bit of research.
ANYHOW. I was going through one of my books on Dinosaurs (one of them... my god I am a dork) and found a passage that made me laugh:
"Paleontologist James Farlow made an inspired calculation of Tyrannosaurus' needs based on a scene from the film Jurassic Park, in which the predator ate a lawyer. Assuming a Tyrannosaurus weighs 4.5 tons and a lawyer weighs 150 pounds, he estimated it would take 292 legal advisers a year to keep the predator fed."
Hee! All meat consumption estimates should be put in terms of how many lawyers it takes to keep an animal fed.
