Tyrannosaurus Rex a Big Chicken - Not a new story

Tweet

I ran across the article in today's news: Tyrannosaurus Rex Basically a Big Chicken http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,352510,00.html "New analyses of soft tissue from a T.rex leg bone re-confirm that birds are dinosaurs' closest living relatives." Did you know this already or is this the first time you have seen the almighty T-Rex being compared to a Chicken? I was really surprised that this is a front page news item.
