    Default The Ultimate: Cheese Vs Dinosaurs

    Another poll by me, with no point whatsoever...

    I believe that Cheese is superior to dinosaurs, simply because of it's fragility. Cheese is full of holes, or at least some kinds are, yet most Dinosaurs had none. The thing is, Cheese smells better AND tastes better with crackers, whereas if you stick Dinosaurs on a cracker they won't even fit.

    What do you think?

    But dinosaurs can eat the cheese, hence they must be superior right?

    Well dinosaurs gave rise to birds, which resulted in chickens. So it's a close one.

    I for one think that a brontosaurus would have tasted quite good. In addition, reptiloids have usually rather low-fat meat, while cheese...
    A dinosaur also has a better flair. Cheese on your bread is rather lame, on the other hand, roasting a dinosaur on a stick over a fire makes a perfect atmosphere for camp-fire stories. Cheese just can´t compete with that.

    and those nice stories you have about hunting the dinosaur, you know the Big fish, like 60kg, imagine getting an ichysauros on the line (more like a ton)
    "Yeah the other day i was off the reef and i pulled a one ton ichysaurus on board, i really like ichysaurus especially with melted cheese"

    thanks,

    Cheese.
    In a fight, although the dinosaur would eat the cheese, dinosaurs are not capable of digesting such a complex food item so thus, the dinosaur would get terrible indigestion and diarehha, and therefore cheese would be the victor.

    But then the cheese would be dead, the dinosaur would still be alive, and so the dinosaur wins again!

    Brings up an interesting point. Although much research has been done individually on cheese and dinosaurs, a comprehensive comparison has never really been done.

    Thing is, cheese is a mold. Mold was around during the dinosaurs period, and mold, including cheese, is still around. Dinosaurs though...
    Yeah, cheese spanks a dinosaur.

    What's all this talk about ichisaurus?

    and imagine a movie where cheese chased Raquel Welch like the dinosaurs did in 1 million years BC!

    hehe, yeah, that would still be cool, but not as cool as a dinosaur

    Cheese will last in cold temperature. Dinosaurs will croak. They are widely believed as Poikilotherms (they can't regulate their own temperature).

    I suspect the dinosaurs on the southpole would complain if they couldn't regulate thier own temperature.
    Yes it was warmer there then, but they would still need to survive the winter with no sun for several months.

    Man, cheese can´t digest dinosaurs either.

    I´m not sure this is true. Cheese is made from milk. Milk is only produced by mammals, which are a more recent development. That means, during most of the time of the dinosaures´ reign, there was no cheese. Cheese has yet to rule the world for a time span the dinosaures did.

    They would have to expend tremendous amount of energy:
    a) doing work (moving their massive bodies around; particularly, predators ought to be fast).
    b) burning energy and shivering ( if they regulate their own temperature).
    c) that means they have to eat constantly and frequently.
    d) Behaviourally, it is possible they can flock like penguins to reduce loss of body heat.

    I have a theory.

    Consider if you would for a moment a dinosaur (or better, multiple dinosaurs of differing sizes and species) stood next to a cheese (or better, multiple cheeseses of differing tpyes and maturities).

    The dinosaurs come in many different varieties, yes? As do the cheeses. Both can be in a range of different colours, sizes and tastes. Both are aquired tastes. One makes you dream weird dreams, the other is often in those dreams.

    My conclusion? Well, it's a shocker.





    Cheese are dinosaurs and dinosaurs are cheese! That's right. They are one and the same. Therefore, the poll is void.

    I believe they slept for most of the time during the winter and were in the deepest parts of the forest which retained some heat.

    True, cheese didn't exist, but mold did. And cheese is just a very specialized, highly proficient, mold; the pinnacle of all mold has to offer (and tasty too).
    If you extrapolate this discussion further, you inevitably are faced with an even greater question:

    Cheesecake or dinosaurs?

    If I remember correctly, there's a big evidence that some dinosaurs didn't sleep during the winter.
    They had good night vision. It doesn't sound like a big evidence unless you consider were you are. Close to the southpole the sun is either up all the time or down all the time, thus giving night vision to them is quite useless if the can only use it for 2-3 months/year, because you sleep during the dark period.

    They would have to expend tremendous amount of energy:
    a) doing work (moving their massive bodies around; particularly, predators ought to be fast).
    b) burning energy and shivering ( if they regulate their own temperature).
    c) that means they have to eat constantly and frequently.
    d) Behaviourally, it is possible they can flock like penguins to reduce loss of body heat.
    And that differs from today? Remind you that plants was growing there, so it wasn't polar weather.
