When he woke up yesterday, Tyrannosaurus Rex's name was Tyler Gold. But after a court hearing, the 23-year-old Nebraska man can legally call himself the king of the lizards, the York News Times reports, in a story spotted by NPR. Gold told the court he was changing his name "because the (T-Rex designation) is cooler. Also, as an entrepreneur, name recognition is important, and the new name is more recognizable."
The court deemed that sensible, and now his legal name is Tyrannosaurus Rex Joseph Gold. Maybe he can hang out with Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop? (More Tyrannosaurus rex stories.)
