one of the directors of Los Alamos has told me that the topic is a now a safe one there, and when serious scholars went to put together a documentary on the topic last winter, they came to me and not to the geniuses at talk.origins
And where might we view this documentary? Do you know the name of the director at Los Alamos whom you spoke with? I am sure a man of your sincerity would share these things with us Hmm?

You see a book lying on a table. You know there's a force due to gravity acting on that book. If you take that force (on the book and due to gravity) as the "action," what then is the "reaction" as required by Newton's third law?

The man doesn't really get anything out of talking to rude people or idiots, and I'm not going to send you to him asking questions, if that's what you had in mind. Sorry.
Not a problem as I am neither rude nor an idiot. I will simply accept that you are not capable of backing up your claims due to fear that you would upset the director at Los Alamos. That is also no problem as I am sure I can track down the indivuidual directors at Los Alamos and query them individually.Thank you for your time just the same.

The seismosaur's neck probably weighed between 30K and 50K lbs, and the center of gravity of that neck would have been 15' - 20' out from the shoulders.
Let's see a seismosaur weighs up to 150 tons which translates to 300K lbs. This means that you are stating the head of the beast weighs 10% -15% OF THE BODY WEIGHT.Take a close look at the head in relation to the rest of the body and ask yourself if perhaps you woud like to give a new more reasonable estimate.
It would not hurt to do a calculation showing your work and allow us to see it.
