A gigantic bird-like dinosaur weighing as much as a car towered over its relatives about 70 million years ago, a new finding suggests. The unearthed beaked dinosaur was not full-grown, yet it tipped the scales at more than 3,000 pounds. Paleontologists who discovered its remains estimate the behemoth was just 11 years old when it perished. Chinese scientists unearthed the skeletal remains of the dinosaur, now named Gigantoraptor erlianensis, in the Erlian Basin of Inner Mongolia, China. Gigantoraptor was also much ganglier than other dinosaurs. Typically, larger dinosaurs had proportionally stouter limbs and shorter lower legs than their smaller relatives. Relative to its size, Gigantoraptor had unusually slender limbs and lengthy legs.

Most of the Speed Racer cast, including Matthew Fox, Emile Hersch, Susan Sarandon, and Christina Ricci, was on hand for the official unveiling of the Speed Racer car, dubbed Mach 5 (in ultra hi-res). The car was presented with great fanfare during a press conference last week. The upcoming Wachowski brothers film looks to be shaping up quite nicely, with the potential for a near universal appeal given its combination of G-rated subject matter, a hip cast, and 60s kitsch. Speed Racer won't see the light of day until sometime in 2008, but this video should suffice as a teaser for the time being. My bet that ill be pandering to PC save-the-children extremists.
