  It was also still the largest *T. rex* known to date. However, as Scott
Hartman has stated, "Stan" has a longer femur and may be proportionately
smaller even so, suggesting that _just_ gross femoral circumference or
length may not be as readily a marker for determining absolute comparative
mass among specimens of a recognized group of *T. rex.*

  Besides, rendering the horns of *Triceratops* level for piercing would
not allow them to project beyond the fairly long nose. *Triceratops*
instead seems to have a ready, and more powerful, arsenal in its jaws, instead.

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
