Via "Giant animatronic Tyrannosaurus rex goes up in dramatic flames in Colorado" (WaPo).
The 24-foot-tall reptile replica at the Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience was set ablaze by an electrical malfunction in the early afternoon, the park’s owners said in a Facebook post. After smoldering for about 10 minutes, huge flames engulfed the creature, whose motorized head and jaws sway as parkgoers pass by....Oh, come on, that's just mean, calling attention to the poor guy's tiny arms in his time of greatest anguish.
When it finally extinguished, the T. rex’s metal skeleton was still standing silhouetted in the afternoon light, its poorly-evolved, disproportionately-small arms bent plaintively toward the sky.

T. rex just expressing his inner dragon.
The video still looks like an ad for a heartburn medicine.
Dinosaur eats a pizza.
Dinosaur has burning in its stomach.
Larry the Dinosaur Guy appears, extols the virtues of said medication.
Dinosaur feels better.
Meteor hits Earth and dinosaur is extinct.
The Germans have a word for this.

In what way were its arms poorly evolved? The T. Rex was an apex predator for millions of years. If its arms were small, it is likely because small arms were, in some way, advantageous.
He's feeling that
fire in his belly.
So the T-Rex was mocking the disabled reporter?
I guess only DJT gets in trouble for that. Doh!
What happened to Sam Keen and "The Men's Movement"?
Fire Crotch!
I think she meant to say that Trex had small hands.
Is that you Tillerson?
Speaking of fire -
"Anna Poole, 35, badly burned her Beacon High School [NY?] students on Jan. 2, 2014, during a chemistry “rainbow experiment” gone horribly wrong. The botched demonstration resulted in three ongoing suits against the city for nearly $40 million.
...
Yet instead of firing Poole, Education Department officials gave her a new job and a series of contractual raises. She currently makes $79,484 — up more than $23,000 from her $56,048 salary at the time of the fireball."

A friend had a Bassett Hound. Whenever people remarked how its legs were too short, he'd say "They reach the ground, don't they ?"
Bang a Gong. Get it on.
Not sure if the T-Rex ever had a hubcap diamond star halo, though.

John notes:
“I think she meant to say that Trex had small hands.”
That would be mean. Besides, Hillary is built more like a T-Rex if you think about it - not that you should.

No doubt the MSM scribbler meant to say "poorly understood by me and my disproportionately small brain."
Prehistoric monsters and wind turbines. The same company?

And has the same smile and disposition.
Fortunately they still have samples of his DNA (it is a he, isn't it? Perhaps a ze?) in the welder's scrap pile, so re-creation won't be a problem.
Oh the humanity! Oh wait...
All I could think at the beginning of the video was that looked like the world's worst case of jock itch.
A classic in the stoner “glad I got to see it” genre.
He? Did you just assume xir's gender?!
Who is this WaPo writer, to second-guess millions of years of evolution that produced a top predator with small forelimbs?
Tyrannosaurus rex -- OW MY BALLS!!!
"And that, children, is why the dinosaurs are extinct."
The burning T-Rex is quite an achievement for Colorado, but but for pure style let me direct you to the the 2012 Texas State Fair where we see Big Tex burn up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_ZymGBl1Zw
Burning with male privilege!!
"Burning Man" was too species-ist so now they're going after the poor extinct animals who can no longer defend themselves.
