    I don't see why not.  I couldn't imagine picking up after a dinosaur.  Maybe the brain back there figured it out.  Have you ever heard of anyone finding any dinosaur dung?  I haven't.

    I bought a large piece of dino dung last year for my son for Christmas.  He wants to be a paleontologist.

    I have heard that. For some of the really large dinosaurs, they needed to have a brain back there to know when to take a dump.

    A ganglion, perhaps, but not a brain.
