Are you suggesting we feed pensioners to dinosaurs? Well, wasn't it the Dinosaurs tv show that had elderly relatives walking off to the tar pit when they hit 70?

if you did eat the 80 burgers then I think you'd be drastically increasing the chances of an unsuccessful getaway the next time!

I reckon they'd be lacking in calories, though their bones would be easy to crunch through. Let's not go there, this is getting too macabre. It was more intended to see if Cat was ok after leaving the benefit street thread so rapidly. Not usual for Cat to quit a thread like that.

These are forums, not a real life conversation, there's no need to reply in real time or state you are leaving because we 'leave' each conversation as soon as we've posted anything on it usually anyway

But back on topic(ish), there's an economical argument for having a tar pit...

T-Rex played the New York palladium on February 15th 1972, which (according to wikipedia) held 3000 people.

That's a lot of humans to get through
