It's Thesaurus Day!

So, did you like Dinosaurs as a little kid? What was your favourite? :D

I liked Triceratops, because it looked so freaky.

i like the one that lives in water...kinda like big turtle...i don't know its name...

I like the Pteredactyl, mainly cause I can never spell its name.

I might need a Dictionary or Thesaurus or something..

When I was around 10 years old, possibly younger, I typed out a mini-encyclopedia about dinosaurs, including details on every dinosaur I could find out about in roughly 10 books. I loved dinosaurs.

Having said that, I'm not sure which my favourite was - I just loved them all. There were some I favoured - Ankylosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Deinonychus, Styracosaurus... although it was not actually a dinosaur, I always liked Dimetrodons, too.

Like 8 years ago, my grandma ordered me this thing that came in installments like every fortnight (sometimes 2). First came a ring binder (with a picture of some dinosaurs on the front) then every issue after that had some pages of dinosaurs that I would put in the ring binder. The pages were full of fun facts about the dinosaurs it was based on. There were also some history pages that came every now and again that were supposed to set the record straight about myths I may have heard about dinosaurs in the past.
Also, with the first few issues came pieces to a glow-in-the-dark t-rex skeleton. I never finished building him—I missed out on the issues that had the spine and tail and I never got around to back ordering.

That was pretty much my last real run in with dinosaurs.

Pachy..."something"...has always been my favourite Dinosaur. I don't remember its full name, but I think it is the best of them all. ^^

Pachy Dinosaur.

Yep, I liked the Pterodactyl too. I pwned the other kids at Hangman with that word.

I liked Dinosaurs when I was kid, and now. My favourites are the ceratopsians. I don't think I could choose a favourite out of that group though.

My brother was collecting that when he was younger, but he too missed out on a few pieces. So his T-rex only had a skull, and it's upper body.

I watched The Land Before Time as a kid and it made me like the ones with the long-necks and hate everything else...The giraffe-asours.

I like those big ones who don't eat meat. They seem more friendly then the ones that would gladly eat me. :p

I loved Dinosaurs when I was younger! :D They were all great. ^_^

I'm pretty sure my sister collected that, too. I think she finished the whole T-Rex, though.

I was never really all that into dinosaurs. I kinda liked them, and I found them intersting, but I never went out of my way to study them like so many little boys tended to.

Godzilla kicks their asses anyday, nuclear mutated giant lizards kill dinosaurs! Too bad Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson killed them all off with some old duds though.

Dinosaurs were my obsession. I drew them, I collected magazines, I made some up, I made my own magazines, I collected dinosaur cards, it was probably because of me that the whole family went to see Jurassic Park
