So Phil Mickelson has a dinosaur head.....


Recommended Posts

From, http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/2009/06...elson_interview

 

Golf Digest: Not to get too personal, but what's with the dinosaur head?

Phil Mickelson: That was my birthday present from Amy. Last June. Of the dinosaurs that have been preserved, the No. 1 is Sue, a very famous one at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. A Tyrannosaurus rex. Her head is like five feet long. The one Amy gave me is from Mongolia [paleontologists say it's possibly a Tarbosaurus bataar].

 

Male or female?

Female, not that I would know by inspecting it or anything. I'm just going by what I was told.

 

What is yours named?

Haven't named it yet. But it's the coolest thing I've ever gotten. My kids and I sometimes will just sit in my office and talk about what the world was like 68 million years ago. Amanda, our oldest daughter [born the day after the 1999 U.S. Open], wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time. Even before we got the dinosaur head. Our kids are really into that stuff, like outer space.

 

What is a dinosaur head worth?

I don't know. It was a birthday present. We've had four or five people bid on it, but it's not for sale. Talk about giving something to the man who has everything. I was really surprised, just like I was when Amy gave me the meteorite. That's from Argentina, a crash from the 1930s, I believe. I got that from Amy last Christmas. It weighs about 300 pounds and is the size of a basketball. I also have a small one that friends gave to me. It's about the size of a softball. There are more meteorites around than dinosaurs.

It is awesome when you have a wife that is willing to go through the effort to get you a truly unique gift. It adds to why that person is special to you. Good for Amy to go out and get such an odd and unique gift like that. I guess it wouldn't do her any good to go out and get Phil a new golf shirt or a cool putter.

"Amy! I ate my LUNCH off that meteor!"

 

Is this a Joe dirt reference?

 

Joe Dirt is an awesome movie.

 

"You wanna fight? Why don't you stick your head up my butt and fight for air?"

 

This could go on for hours....but I will resist the urge and stay on topic.

 

He has a meteor that is the "size of a basketball" that weighs 300 lbs!!! crazy!

Miley Cyrus' net worth is estimated to be $25-$50 million. That's a lot of money by anyone's standards, but nowhere near a billion dollars.
