I was always a Brontosaurus girl. Alas. And they were taken away, probably by the same bastards who tanked Pluto.
I never much liked Apatosaurus as a name. Damn scientists with their rules, ruining it for the rest of us! (Weirdest one, to me at least: African acacias are no longer in the Acacia genus, despite the fact that originally, they
were
the genus.
Of course, Ray Toro lost the Torosaurus, so at least I'm in good company.
Well now, not everyone has signed off on the Torosaurus thing. The neck-frill bone is apparently fairly plastic, but it's still a big change to get a couple of holes in it.
Hi, Trudy! Good to see you again!
Hi Trudy. Welcome back, Welcome back.
Trudy! Hi! Welcome back! I missed you.
Apatosaurus
I pat a saurus, too. Whenever they let me. They're bitey, you know.
Good news, Kate.
Is that the Walking with Monsters series, with things like the Burgess Shale fauna and the gigantic millipede? I love that series, though there are apparently a number of inaccuracies. Nonetheless, it's great stuff.
Yes that's the one. We love it too, it just made it all seem so real. Like a nature show only instead of herds of gazelle running across the plain we get herds of iguanodon.
I want to watch Walking with Monsters now. I'm very impressionable!

I remember that herd, that was the Ornithocheirus ep, I think. That reminds me, when I saw David Attenborough (saying that never gets old) they played a clip from a recent effort of his,
Flying Monsters 3D,
on pterosaurs. Fun clip.

On Netflix streaming, if you have it. Fun series.

It should NEVER get old. I expect to talk about David Attenborough with the phrase, and billytea saw him, for ... ever. Because it's David Attenborough and you saw him speak. That's epic.
I really love David Attenborough.

I live in a whole different country, so no. But what I do have is
Walking with Monsters.
By which I mean that I'm watching it now. When I said I wanted to watch it, I guess what I really meant was "I want to walk to the other end of the house and pull it off the bookshelf in the theatre room".

He was awesome. And surprisingly good at accents. Here I will put in a plug for his autobiography, "Life on Air": [link] It's an excellent and entertaining telling of a remarkable life.
