Which one is your favorite?


And yes, the Pterodactyl, the bird one, is not a dinosaur, but a flying lizard. But's lets not nitpick this thing to death. It's not science class, it's a poll posted by a backwoods redneck who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Ankylosaurus is my favorite. Not that popular of a dino, but I like his club tail and armored back.

Important poll. I almost picked the big ol' brontosaurus but eventually stuck with Mr T-Rex, baddest assed ... bad ... ass in the primordial soup.

Well I was going to go for T Rex but I rememeber somebody once saying that the T - Rex brain was so small it probably did not know it was alive. So I went for Velocoraptor.

Dinosaurs are fake. The bones were put here to test your faith. Heathens.

And if you believe that I have a used car to sell you.

My favorite is the Triceratops. Those horns were tough. T-Rex was the man but you gotta like the underdog.

Personally, I like the Pterodactyl. Anything that can fly naturally is cool!

BTW...you did forget one most important dinosaur...

Dino the Dinosaur from The Flintstones. Now that was one cool dino!!

You know what always bugged me about The Flintstones? When they celebrated Christmas. I mean, they said the year was like something B.C. Even dinosaurs were around. So if they're living before the birth of Christ how can they celebrate Christmas? Maybe it was Jesus Christrock or something.

The Great Gazoo sucked too. Hey, that rhymed.

-HECK!

Yeah, but that's a real dinosaur they found, and they named it after Hogwarts in honor of Harry Potter!!!

'Hogwarts' Dragon Unveiled
By Larry O'Hanlon, Discovery News


May 23, 2006 — A dragon-like dinosaur named after Harry Potter's alma mater has performed a bit of black magic on its own family tree, say paleontologists who unveiled the "Dragon King of Hogwarts" on Monday in Albuquerque.


The newly described horny-headed dinosaur Dracorex hogwartsia lived about 66 million years ago in South Dakota, just a million years short of the extinction of all dinosaurs. But its flat, almost storybook-style dragon head has overturned everything paleontologists thought they knew about the dome-head dinos called pachycephalosaurs.


"What you knew about pachycephalosaurs -- you can chuck it," said Spencer Lucas, curator of paleontology at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History.


"Dracorex hogwartsia is a rather fantastic new dinosaur," affirmed paleontologist Robert Sullivan of the State Museum of Pennsylvania.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Study: Dino Spikes, Horns Served as Name Tags

For years dinosaur experts had thought the classic dome-headed, head-butting sorts of pachycephalosaurs evolved from earlier flat-headed ancestors. The last thing they expected to find at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs was a dramatically flat-headed pachycerphalosaurs, or "pachy."


"If you were going to predict the kind of dinosaur that would live at that time, it would not be this," said Lucas.


Without so much as a nod of the head or the waving of a wand, hogwartsia has reversed the pachy family tree.


"Instead of going from flat-headed to domed, you're going from dome-headed to flat," Sullivan told Discovery News. Along with several colleagues, Sullivan co-authored the first detailed study of the new dinosaur, published this week in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science Bulletin.


Dracorex hogwartsia, which translates as "Dragon King of Hogwarts," was unearthed in 2003 in the Hell Creek Formation of South Dakota by three amateur fossil hunters working in cooperation with the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. But it wasn't until it was at the museum, while the fossil was being carefully prepared, that renowned dinosaur researcher Robert Bakker happened to catch sight of it while visiting. Bakker then recruited pachycerphalosaurs expert Sullivan and other paleontologists to take a closer look.


As for how it got its name? A group of children at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis drew the connection to the fanciful school of witchcraft that the famous fictional wizard Harry Potter attends and came up with the name hogwartsia..

"It's a very dragon-like looking dinosaur," said Sullivan.


J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has been notified and apparently rather likes the new name.


"I am absolutely thrilled to think that Hogwarts has made a small claw mark upon the fascinating world of dinosaurs," said Rowling, according to a museum press release. "I happen to know more on the subject of paleontology than many might credit, because my eldest daughter was Utahraptor-obsessed and I am now living with a passionate Tyrannosaurus rex-lover, aged three.

"My credibility has soared within my science-loving family, and I am very much looking forward to reading Dr. Bakker and his colleague's paper describing 'my' dinosaur."

Did I mention that there were Chocolate Dinosaurs? That's right. Dino's made of pure chocolate.

If you went back in time and killed one, you could eat chocolate for years and years before it ran out.

There was a couple of us that would have voted for him, but he was added after we already voted.

Important point. I also don't know about the veracity of homo-sapiens using great thumping brontosaurus as cranes and earth-movers and other machines of industrial purpose. Just seems a little skewiff that sabre-tooth tigers, humans and dinosaurs were gathered together celebrating Jesus's birthday. But then god has worked in more mysterious ways.

He's just big-boned mate. Hell - he is a dinosaur. Y'know - they haven't been digging up dainty little chicken wings out in the Arizona desert, they've been great thumping trees the size of buses. It's like that bit at the start of Pulp Fiction, talking about Tony Rockyhara, half-black, half-Samon - fat, right? - well, I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat - what's he gonna do, he's Samoan.

Another highly relevant point. Though perhaps he was celebrating his first anniversary of being a ghost, in which it would be his first deathday.

They don't explain these things to the kids.

Agreed. Santa Claus, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy - all, you work out, harmless creatures of myth.

Funny then that people still believe there's god and the devil and heaven and hell and if you're good or bad you'll go to these places and live forever not actually dying as dinosaurs and sabre-toothed tigers and chimpanzees all do but rather transcending this mortal coil and living for eternity as a spirit creature, a little like Casper the Friendly Ghost, depending what post-mortality existance St.Peter or whoever's looking after the middle bit - purgatory? - decides where you should go for the entirety of your post-life "existance".

You couldn't make it up.

Oh hang on - yes you could. They already did.

Eh, take that anti religious trash of yours, and park it in politics and religion. It's your standard mantra you spew out in various threads.

This is a happy little poll on Dino's, not a debate on evolution, religion, Iraq, the man in the moon, the Illuminati, or the Catholic Church.

What happened to "so don't be shy, go ahead and POST."?

And this happy little thread about dinos has a sponsor's thing on it called "The Story of Satan" wondering if the Devil is the enemy of mankind. That's crazy talk.

Don't be shy, go ahead and post in Politics and Religion. Start an evolution thread, or a dinosaur vs. religion thread, or an I hate god and/or religion thread.

Whatever, but my happy little thread aint the place for it.

But, Jurassic Park did make the velociraptor look PRETTY cool.

I remember being way into dinosaurs as a kid. Mind you this is 10 years before Jurassic Park. No one had heard of raptors back then. T-Rex was the coolest, but I liked the smaller ones for some reason. All I knew at the time was Land Of The Lost.
And Sleestacks freaked me out.
