The speed of a T. rex is a topic of debate among scientists and enthusiasts.

Mary Queen of Scots kept her dying wishes secret from her enemies by using a variety of tactics. She confided in close friends and family members, who were sworn to secrecy and promised to carry out her wishes after her death. She also wrote letters and documents that were intended to be discovered only after her passing. Additionally, Mary Queen of Scots changed her will multiple times, making it difficult for her enemies to predict her final wishes.
