In the book it is explained that since (in universe) her vision is based on movement, she roars to scare prey into fleeing so that she can see them.

You have clearly never driven a manual transmission, nor have the slightest idea how to. It is not possible to operate a manual transmission without using both feet on the pedals.

Please don't comment authoritatively about things you know nothing about. It just makes us all a little bit worse off.

In the original Jurassic Park novel by Michael Crichton, one of the animals they've cloned are these giant dragonflies. Its only one line in the book (Tim, one if the kids, sees one fly by and recalls reading about them) but it caught my attention as just straight impossible. I remember thinking, "Unless you're somehow controlling the oxygen level of the air around this entire island, there's no way that bug can't breathe."

What? Not it's not. Where did you get this number?

It's more like 6.7 AU. Source

In other words somewhere between Jupiter and Saturn in terms of distance to the sun.

Well, a billion kilometers is almost 7 times the mean distance between the earth and the sun. Asteroids pass in that distance all the time. We're currently closer to Ceres (the dwarf planet) than that and its on the other side of the sun from us.

And how much gasoline are you refining in your backyard on those cloudy days?

Kidnapping is a crime.

Toothpaste companies give free products to freshly graduated dental students, then ask them if they would recommend it. They get a bunch of "sure, whatever, yeah" replies and boom, "9 out of 10 dentists recommend! We can't say 10 out of 10 because legal says that opens us up to lawsuits."

I'd like to file a complaint. Vermont, a landlocked state, is lumped into the "lobster" group.
