Dinosaurs - A Very Short Introduction by David Norman
http://www.us.oup.com/us/catalog/ge...mlldz11c2EmY2k9OTc4MDE5MjgwNDE5OA==

Musta been a typo.
Or, as too often happens, my irony was lost in translation
between what I heard in my head and what appears in print.
My words should never been taken at face value or, worse,
with a prejudice that expects me to be a hostile spoilsport.
So, for what it's worth, it was a typo. Okay?
I meant 'completely fantastic'.

Posted Oct 30, 2009 by RadoxTheGreen - wondering if Bit-ly works on nicknames
I'm still having trouble adjusting to the idea that the brontasaurus never actually existed in the first place. All those Moschops episodes with Mr Brontosaurus, they'll all have to be redubbed...

(And why shouldn't his name be Mr Brontosaurus? Your name isn't Mr Human, is it?)

Ah, but the dinosaurs in Moschops were called by their species, Mr Icthyosaurus, 'Ally' Saurus, Uncle Tyrannosaurus Rex, Grandpa Diplodocus etc.

This barrel chested beasty could be the grandaddy of the elephrump.
Large chest means large lungs, and maybe it had a snorkel (trunk).
