Useless Weekly Fact
The chicken and the ostrich are the closest living relatives of the T-Rex. In 2003 scientists used collagen in ancient dinosaur remains to figure this out. They had suspected the dino-ness of birds for a long time, and finally here was actual evidence. Before the discovery, many experts believed that dinosaurs were giant reptiles, but it turns out they were basically massive chickens.
