Inspired by [this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=8711428#post8711428) Say you win the lottery for a kajillion dollars and buy yourself a big ranch in Texas and get someone to clone you a T. Rex as a pet. What would you name it? I’m thinking that “Spike” or “Fluffy” would be good names. 😃 ---
