A variety of dino-bites from around the web:
• XKCD's "What If?" blog answers the burning question, "How many people would a T-Rex need to eat every day?"
• Scientists uncover first-ever traces of pigment in reptile fossils
• TDN favorite Brian Switek advises against seeing Walking With Dinosaurs 3D and offers instead a selection of other prehistoric-themed films, rated for scientific accuracy.
• I'm sure by now you've heard about the dino porn.
• Paleontologists identify a Torvosaurus specimen languishing in storage at Chicago's Field Museum. More here.
• Dinosaur Supervisor Phil Tippit is on board for Jurassic World.
• An Oxford scientist says that birds can theoretically be devolved into dinosaurs, which doesn't exactly sound like news since that's pretty much the premise of Jack Horner's chickensaurus project.
• And finally, you can now reenact the iconic "inevitable betrayal" scene from Serenity with these officially-licensed dinosaur toys which play the dialogue (in Alan Tudyk's voice!) when you squeeze their bellies. MINE IS AN EVIL LAUGH!
Thanks to Slog-tippers Craig, Jeremy, Sayed and Sheila!!
