    I don't get why 'godzilla' in the ER link is being called Godzilla.

    The thing is 4 meters long. I know a lot of Americans have trouble converting metric to english measurement, but 4 meters is about 13 feet. Call me a purist, but Godzilla was 400 feet tall. You know, 'Up from the depths, 40 stories tall...'

    Also it doesn't have legs, just fins. I understand that Gozilla is comfortable in the water and all, but he had legs.

    So I clicked on the link expecting to see that scientists had found the remains of some dinosaur that was several hundred feet long, and instead, the article is about something that's 1/4 the size of a T-Rex and can't crush even miniature domiciles underfoot cause it doesn't even have feet.

    Godzookie maybe, but Gozilla?

    no fire breath either
