Ever been called 'thunder thighs'? Tell that to this dinosaur and you'll get your ass kicked.

A couple of palaeontologists discovered a new species of dinosaur when they were going through some bones in a museum storage cupboard in Oklahoma. The bones had sat there since the mid-90's. What the palaeontologists had discovered was a new type of sauropod with ginormous hip and shoulder bones.

So what do you name such a dino? “Thunder thighs” (or Brontomerus mcintoshi in Latin).
