I was the little kid obsessed with dinosaurs, so when I saw the movie, I already knew that the ones on there were more deinonychus-sized.enigmaax;642760 wrote:Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber (Pet Cemetary reference), you go and do something like this.......and totally redeem yourself!
(^Umm, just to be sure you get it, I just quoted Dumb and Dumber there^)
Imagine the disappointment of my children when we went to Dinosaur World last year and they saw that the velociraptors were really just pre-historic chickens (feathers and all...just slightly taller).
It would ruin it for kids who didn't know that, though. I'm sure they're scarred.

If Hollywood has taught us anything, it's that the dinosaurs will find their way onto a boat and into San Diego, wreaking havoc on Southern California and Jeff Goldblum's career.

Velociraptors weren't the badasses depicted in that movie. Real life, they were like 4 feet tall. Deinonychus were about 6 feet. Utahraptors were full of win.
I think it's great a dinosaur is named "Utahraptor". Beforehand, I would have thought that was a rapture-crazed Mormon.

It would be cool until they discovered it wasn't a comet hitting the earth that caused a mass extinction, but rather Mammoth flatulence.

Ha ha...that is funny because a big (secret) part of the reason we went there was so I could prove to my stepson that I wasn't just making shit up. Nothing drives the point home like a "life-size" statue. And pushups for being wrong/arguing with me.
And yeah, when I was in second grade I taught the dinosaur lesson because the teacher couldn't pronounce all the names. And probably got beat up for being a nerd. Anyway, when the movie came out, I was like, what the fuck? And then probably got beat up again.

I would have gotten beat up, but I was always the biggest kid in class (tallest and weighed the most). Instead, I just had no friends until I was about 13.

This is a mistake waiting to happen and it will happen no doubt. I'm sure the military will get their hands in there some how too.
The Japanese are gonna want Godzilla brought back.lol Or is it GodZillra.

This would be amazing. Ive always wanted to poke a T-Rex in the butt and watch him run at me only to be stopped by an electric fence!
On a serious note, talk about amazing advances in science if they can make it happen.

The question I have is if this happens, when does it stop? What will be next?

If more people asked these two tiny questions on other topics, and actually thought about the possibilities, the world would be a much better place!

Yeah it's too bad your parents never asked themselves these questions before they ever had sex.

Eh, its not as fun as you think to @#$% with T-Rex. One time I fell through this dimensional portal and was chased by one. Escaped pretty easily...but dealing with the Sleestaks, now that was a lot more challenging.
