Dromiceiomimus: That's actually not a bad idea, T-Rex! If you want something to last a long time in the environment, copper's a great material. Put it underwater and it'll last even longer.
T-Rex: That's what I'm saying! A copper statue of me could last MILLIONS of years, even with nobody taking care of it!
T-Rex: Millions of years, Utahraptor!
Utahraptor: That IS plenty of years!
T-Rex: That's enough time for OUR ENTIRE SPECIES to be wiped out, for a new sentient species to evolve, discover my statue, and marvel at this sexy man immortalized in metal. "Hey you guys," they'll say, "maybe he should be our new god!"
Utahraptor: Unless they evolve different ideas of sexy.
T-Rex: MAN, even if they do, I can STILL see my sculpted copper 'ceps changing more than a few folks over to "statuesexual"! Sculpturephiliacs? Bustarians?
T-Rex: Anyway.
T-Rex: I'M SURE they'll think of a word.
