I've always had a thing for hierarchies and superlatives. It was a bit of an obsession as a kid. The fiercest dinosaurs, the biggest mammals, the highest army ranks etc etc.
See how you do with these - three of each: lowest/least to highest/most please eg. fast, faster, fastest.
Some I have no real idea about and some may just be similes! A bit of fun on Friday night!

ReplyDeleteha ha, its the end of the world as we know it Tone. I like your ranking. But is there anything bigger?
DeleteAbsolutely yes Woodsy... when I've displeased Mrs. K :)
DeleteWhat, you mean a ...... sh*tstorm? ha ha
DeleteAllosaurus,T Rex,Spinosaur as they are,smallest to largest.Although I think Spino's size as well as posture,is in dispute as of late.
ReplyDeleteNice one Brian, I agree with that ranking. I wouldn't want to argue with a Spinosaur about its size!
DeleteI think its mostly agreed that a Spino can reach a longer length than T Rex.The concept of Spino taking a four legged stance and looking like a giant sail- finned crocodile seems to be popular at this time.
