Are you referring to what he wrote under one of my videos or did he copy and paste this everywhere? Given that he's a newcomer on YT, he has posted just 2 comments - the other one basically says that Carcharodontosaurus is the biggest Theropod, at 14-15 m, while the other ones were all close to 12 m - but I've choosen the one he posted under your video, as it's more "accurate" (he's shown you even a self-made top 10 largest Theropods). |

OK. Funny that you saw his comment before I did, even though I got messaged by mail.  |

"T. Rex was just a scavenger". <---- false.
"COD is better than Halo"<---- false beyond belief.
Just imagine every yt comment for the rest of this page. Yt is a breeding ground for idiots and bashers, fed on stupid videos.
seriously? Photoshopped "mutant animal" videos get more views than actual documentaries? And then there's those stupid "cat with pop tart for a body" videos, Rick rolls, and other sludge.

It looks like there are some Carcharodontosaurus fanboy around: LOL This dude seems to be TopPhilosopher1 equivalent of Carcharodontosaurus fanboys. Fake Contributions are such ridiculous people that thinks they're like contributions, but in reality they're not.  |

75ft for S. sikanniensis was stated by Darren Naish. In the same Tetzoo post he even ostentatiously crossed out other figures of 27 and 21m. Carcharodon as the genus name of C. megalodon has been published in peer review by Wroe and 9 other authors as late as 2008 and by Ehret, Hubbell and McFadden in 2009. From neither team I have ever seen a subsequent revision, so for all we know there’s quite a number of authors out there that use Carcharodon, as increasingly unlikely as this assignment is becoming. In case you’re conna cite personal communications with any of these indicating this not to be the case, that’s great, but those aren’t published informations and nobody can be blamed for not being aware of them. That pliosaurs had the deadliest bite ever is at best debatable, but I know many people who would make this or a similar assertion about their favourite creature without being able to actually prove it. For the record, I don’t believe any currently known pliosaur has the deadliest bite ever. In terms of power, it was certainly superior to Deinosuchus (which, for starters, isn’t actually known to reach the kind of size that’s indicated in some comparisons of skull lenght, while the pliosaur skull lenghts assumed there aren’t at the maximum of the clade) and T. rex (also a lot smaller). According to Foffa et al 2014, pliosaur bite force estimates match up fairly well to estimates for crocodiles made using the same method and at the same skull lenght (in vivo measurements are usually higher due myological variables, at least in lizards and crocodilians, judging by published estimates and measurements). Now, it must be noted that pliosaurs grew considerably larger than crocodiles, and had proportionately much larger skulls… Of course the deadliness of a bite can not be objectively measured, let alone by something as simplistic as bite force, so the debate on this will likely never be concluded. Dakotaraptor: The statement "imo close to 136.5cm" is actually plagiarism, although in the most ridiculous sense of the word. It doesn’t note that this is a measurement made by another person, but make it look as if that was his own divine insight of sorts. |

RE: Plagiarism
To be fair, it could simply mean that it is the most imaginable measurement for him.

Amendment: Ehret, Hubbell and McFadden proposed assignment to Carcharocles based study of white shark remains they found, sorry.
That leaves Gottfried, Compagno, Bowman, Fordyce and Wroe et al.. None have retracted their statements, no idea whether they still retain their views, but that’s a legit assumption.
Obviously that guy is claiming that in order to provoke people, but that still doesn’t mean it’s a modern flat-earth model.
This thread is about ridiculous statements, not about how much you dislike the person who makes them.

“fewer people believe the big megatooth sharks are related to the great white sharks than believe the Earth is flat.”→Well, that statement itself has an obvious problem. There are enough situations in which one would consider them very closely related, regardless of generic assignment. As for Wroe, he’s one in 10 authors of that study, the others deserve a little credit too. And there are shark experts among them. I’m not saying that guy doesn’t deserve your criticism (writing a novel of that genre already qualifies for that imho), but it should be criticism based on his statements, not criticism of his statements based on him…

I'm not a paleontologist, and I don't know any, but I don't think their ALL giga fans. There's likely to be some rex, raptor, and meg fans.

Lol at the "15t as Terrier proposed" and "the longer the femur, the more weight it can support"…
That guy's statements are among the most fitting ever posted here.

allosaurusatrox: that's why this thread is called "laughable and ridiculous statements". creature386: you mean terrier & henderson(  )? Lol, he uses their estimate for carcharodontosaurus but yet considers them fanboys.
