I used to be absolutely obsessed with them - used to get those nifty weekly/monthly magazines that came out, I loved 'em.

Jurassic Park is still one of my favourite books of all time.

I remember annoying everyone who kept calling the massive herbivore dinosaurs "brontosaurus", when everyone knows they're actually apatosaurs. ;)
 
I was a kid when jurassic park came out. So loved it at the time. Cant remember jack about it nowadays.
 
I think anyone who knows anything about them is fascinated with them. I think it's amazing that until the late 1800's, they hadn't been discovered. Imagine the surprise to find out that giant lizards lurked around on the very same planet 100 million years ago.

My favourite is Seismosaurous. ;)

Heh - same here (to all three sentences).

I also annoyed people if I corrected them for saying mammoths, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs or any other non-dinosaurs were dinosaurs.

There was a time when I was six or seven that I could name every dinosaur that had been described for more than a few months... not now (that's probably a good thing ;) ).

Still have a soft spot for them... looking forward to JP4 coming out.
 
And despite all those 1950's caveman v dinosaur movies, no human being has ever seen a living dinosaur !
There is at least approx 65 million years between the extinction of the dinosaurs and the arrival of Fred Flintstone !

We see dinosaurs every day. They just go by the name 'birds' these days. :)

Correct, we see BIRDS every day. Birds having evolved from the 'saurs.

No human has ever seen the creatures they evolved from.

Of course.Crocodilians first appeared in the Triassic,Sharks in the Devonian.
 
Those Komodo Dragons are as scary as hell. When I was in Bali I saw 3 in captivity "share" a live chicken. It was unreal.
 
They are pretty cool. My liking to them started from Jurassic Park. JP4 is said to be a bit different from the others, although at the moment the production seems in limbo.
 
I created this thread because I am an escaped mental patient. People are taken it too seriously.

If the cops come dont tell them I live at 17 Banks Street, Kilsyth, please
