    Please add the measurement system to the title. The times should know better...

      Though it should be pretty obvious from this context that it's not 97 Celsius or Kelvin.

        Sure, but 'F' is a lot shorter than "whichever unit doesn't kill the dinosaur."

          Weird, my browser somehow doesn’t render the title as “T. Rex Had a Body Temperature of 97 Degrees whichever unit doesn’t kill the dinosaur”. It just leaves that last part out, making it even shorter than “F”.

            "T. rex was warm" is even shorter again. I think we’ve established that omitting information saves space.
