the sound of fear

I was outside tonight and heard a distant car with what was obviously a very large engine reving hard on one of the nearby streets. The car was about a 1/2 mile away and it's furious tone echoed through my neighborhood like a hungry beast searching for a kill. It occurs to me that what I heard was probably like the distant sound people feared thousands of years ago, knowing a Tyrannosaurus Rex would eat before dawn.

Beware - a muscle car dines tonight.

Hehe, yeah but humans and dynosaurs were never lived in the same time frame... we missed the T-Rex by a good 70 million years ago. Lucky us!


But I know what you're saying, just giving you shit.

I love it when the sound of my exhaust system sets off car alarms.

Nah dude, I've actually seen a T-Rex eat a human in a movie. You just gotta know which islands to look for them in. It's that one movie where they drew dna from a fossilized mosiquito to create dinosaurs. So ya dude. T-rexes still eat humans. Beware.
