I'll begin...
Quote:
Nigersaurus (meaning "Niger lizard") is a genus of diplodocoid sauropod dinosaur from the middle Cretaceous period, about 119 to 99 million years ago during the Aptian or Albian age. This dinosaur was described by Paul Sereno and colleagues in 1999. [1] It is one of the most common genera found in the rich fossil vertebrate fauna of the Elrhaz Formation, Gadoufaoua, in the Niger Republic, discovered by Philippe Taquet, and described in a paper published in 1976.

Amused me as a child.

I always liked them Velociraptor ones
Here's one in the middle of a scrap, preserved and everything.
Velociraptor was a fierce carnivore that hunted prey animals, such as the plant-eating Protoceratops. Here, the Velociraptor has embedded its deadly foot claw into the neck of the crouching Protoceratops, near the region that housed the blood supply for the head. In turn, the Protoceratops appears to have bitten and broken the right arm of the Velociraptor, whose left hand grips the head of the Protoceratops.

I think we covered the "philosophical basis of science' argument in the first year, but i didn't pay attention back then. can science really not work in a universe in which things "just happen"? if that's as much as there is to the argument against that implicit assumption, then it can be refuted because science is not a failure at all. its success is unparalleled.

i had a BIG dinosaur phase when i was about 5, just before my 'big cats' phase
my fave was the triceratops, cos it was nice and didn't eat anyone, but also was a triple hard bastard that you would not fuck with

Me too and for the same reasons!! 
I was always recreating those battles with my dinosaurs and i was always egging on the Triceratops!! My other fave was Stegosaurus.
The tail and the plates were both so cool!!

If your favourite wasn't Tyrannosaurus then you failed miserably.
FUCK all those new theories which put him as a scavenger. why are they trying to destroy the one role model i had as a child?

How the fuck did big cats supercede dinosaurs? It's like evolution all over again.

Cos the dinos went extinct after the K-T mass extinction like 30-35mil yrs before our feline friends started strutting their stuff (30mya).
Basically there just wasn't any dinos around to fuck with most mammals.

this motherfucker's pretty dope (not actually a dinosaur but that's splitting hairs. if you looked dinosaurish and were alive when the dinosaurs were, you're a muhfukkn dinosaur. that includes you, dimetrodon).
