I really identify with the Brontosaurus (aka Apatosaurus)- we both seem way too big to be vegetarians :-)

I like Protoceratops and Triceratops and Styracasaurus and Brachiasaurus. These are my favourite dinosaurs.

Love being a MV member. Jumped the queue tonight at the White Light Dinosaur night. Kids had a Ball!

White Night at the museum was an unorganized event that left many families frustrated and many children upset. The lines were unbelievable because the museum did not have a cutoff in regards to how many people they could hold inside. Even though the lines were 100 deep to see the dinosaurs and up to forty five minutes wait time, the museum still kept putting their hands out for the $20 entrance fee. You try to explain to a child that they have to stand in line for that long, impossible. Saw one dinosaur walking around, didn't get to see any reptiles, couldn't find where the dress ups were because their were lines everywhere. Waste of a night, never again.

My favourite Dinosaur is the Triceratops because he is big, strong & has horns to use to fight other Dinosaurs.
