Some dinosaurs had two brains! Since nerve signals move from one part
of the body to another relatively slowly - it takes 1/50 of second to
notice a pain in your foot - and since these beasts were so large, a
second brain was at the base of the tail to maintain control of the
creature's backs. Interestingly, the rear brain was bigger than the
one in their heads. - from the Animals section of www.odd-info.com

That was the dinosaur Core 2 Duo ... which later evolved into the human male.

  We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the
  machinations of the wicked.

This  would explain why they were so big - heat radiation of the
original hot designs.

That's nice but absolutely false. I suggest referring to more
reputable sources in the future.
