Most anybody [sic] that studies T-Rex will tell you - even though he had ferocious head, ferocious teeth and was, you know, huge - his front arms are pretty tiny. And if you could ever get hold of one [of the arms] you probably could jerk it right off.

I bet those tiny arms evolved for a reason - you know, some other dinosaur thinks, "Hey, I probably could jerk one of those tiny arms right off." Dinosaur tries it, forgets about the ferocious head and teeth and CHOMP!, T-rex has its dinner.

Actually, a tyrannosaur's arms are pretty strong. I think one estimate claimed they were capable of lifting 300 to 400 pounds. They just look small and useless because the rest of the animal is so damn big.
"And if you could ever get hold of one [of the arms] you probably could jerk it right off."
Mr Roarke : That's Mr Hovind. He's a fundamentalist christian preacher who has to make secret trips here so he can get his rocks off.
Given that a T. rex forearm is about the size of a human arm (and probably better muscled), Kent is apparently claiming we can rip each others arms off with not too much trouble.
If you're Chuck Norris maybe! Mind you, Chuck'd probably allow the T. rex to eat him, then kick it to death from the inside !
See also, "Forelimb osteology and biomechanics of Tyrannosaurus rex" by K. Carpenter[*] and M. Smith, Mesozoic Vertebrate Life (Indiana University Press, 2001).

woot! I got a submission!
Also, that page is full of Hovind gold (or lead, I suppose)
David B., that was seriously funny.
Hey, I'd pay good money to see a creationist try to jerk off a T-Rex's arm. Or whatever else he could grab.
Kent's prison experiences are sure leaving their mark, aren't they?
...Riiiiiight. Let's clone a T. Rex, and we'll let you try that, Kent.
I'm desperately trying to suppress the obvious "pull the ears off a gundark" geekery.
You wanna try to pull a Tyrannosaurus Rex's arms off? As in the arms he uses to stand up after having a nap? If he can use them to lift his several thousand pound self up I highly doubt you could rip it off.
I've had a freakish obsession with dinosaurs since I was about 4. Don't fuck with my vast knowledge of dinosaurs bitch.
You see, that's evolution! Tyrannosaurs adapted short arms, so that people would see the arms, and think "wow, that thing is puny! I bet I could take it!" Then when they try to take it, CHOMP!

Only by comparison to the rest of the animal.
And if you could ever get hold of one [of the arms] you probably could jerk it right off.
Uh, no. While they were small in comparison to the body, they were still made of muscle and bone and capable of lifting considerable weight.
And anyone who's seen Bubba will tell you - even though he has a ferocious face, ferocious fists and his... you know is... huge - Kent 'Prison Bitch' Hovind is pretty. And tiny .
And if Bubba ever let you reciprocate, you could probably jerk him off. [/Reacharound]

@NonProphet
That scene in "Jurassic Park" with the lawyer on the bog springs to mind...! >:D
Confused?
