Everyone realises that raptors in Jurassic Park were misnamed right? That Velociraptor was actually the size of a dog, and the dinosaur's show in the film were actually Deinonychus.

Right?

Inside Joke, your avatar is perfect.

Pfft, next your going to tell us triceratops was misnamed too.

What do you think "killed" off the dinosaurs? An asteroid or a disease perhaps? Or did they evolve or what?

this happened:

Unknowingly to the Dinosaurs, it was this act that would doom them forever. 10 years from now I travel back to the start of time, all time and killed a demigod, and usurp his power for my own. From that point on I made it a point to travel in time causing death and destruction to the world at various times, all worlds. This was only my first.

At least thats what blasted time travlers who keep trying to kill me say. Or least the ones I torture. I think they all are crazy, though I am close to figuring out how those belts work...


That being said I used to really like Dino's as a kid, but I lost my fallowing in it years ago.

If we are going to pick apart Jurassic Park then I'd rather we start with the T-rex on the boat in Jurassic Park 2. To this day that scene makes absolutely no sense to me.

Hmm only thing that made no sense to me was how everyone on the boat was dead, not like the T-rex just reached in with its little hands into the pilot house and killed everyone. Having him on the ship, heading to San Fran made perfect sense though. well from a *twirls mustache* DAMN THE FACT ITS A GIANT MONSTER I WANT MY MONEY!!! point of view.

Anyone (except me) who brings up the new findings indicating the T-Rex was a giant chicken shall suffer!

My brother has a pet turtle, it urinated, then defecated on it's urine, then ate the feces. I was horrified.

That was the point dear boy.

Turtles are crafty, and given there longevity are toying with us, for the day will come when the Turtles shall rise up at the speed of a slow moving bus and come for us all, it has been foreseen, and it shall be done.

I just watched all three Jurassic Park movies today. The first one was the only good one, imho. There's just something magical about when they first enter the park, it's like an experience one cannot forget. Scratch that, there's something magical about the whole movie.

Jurassic Park is fantastic. The third one was craptastic.

Well having it on the ship was ok, it was sedated and pinned down in the hold. Fair enough so far. Then it wakes up, frees itself and bursts out of the hold killing and eating everyone on the ship. So far thats still fair enough. Until it somehow gets into the pilot house and devours him but leaves his hand on the wheel (because he is dramatic like that), it does this without breaking the pilot house despite being way way way bigger than the house and couldn't even fit its nose inside. Then it goes back into the hold, closes the door after itself and waits for the right moment to pop out like a stripper in a cake. Jesus I hate Spielberg.

Yeah should of had raptors or some other dino's stowing awy on the ship. That made no sense at all, as I think the windos were intact. Maybe he's a phase shifting T-rex.

Is this thread about dinosaurs?

Awesome.

[DinoCrisisFan]

I have a question about paleontology, do paleontologists actually dig up dinosaur fossils and what-not? Or do they spend like 95% of their time behind a desk? Or do they spend most of their time out in the field digging and what not?

Given when I was a kid I wanted to do this for a living I can tell you.....

It depends. Most guys though it seems to go with a "out of school" type deal, teach most of the year, then go out. short of desk work and the like not much way to get grant money. Also there are numerous hurdles, rushes, delays, even the mob or unions can threaten you at times. Such as if a massive find is found where a mini mall can be put down, ot a highway, don't be surprised if its no reported, or if it is a guy with a wrench is threatening you in a round about way. So I say maybe 75% of your time is at a desk, some times more.

Also digging isn't as common as it once was, they really do use a form of Radar now. And when it comes to digging it is a slow, slow job, nevermind then taking all the bones and setting them out right, cataloging, recording your fines, keeping interns in-line ,etc, etc. Rarely are bones found in nice clean piles that are fully in place. The job pays poorly, your finds may end up in a private collectors hands, and other "my job sucks momments", its not a bad job, but its like being a Libraian. You do it as you love it, not for money.

They spend most of their time collecting unemployment.
