Not even going to try. I'm too astounded.
Stegosaurus.
Think we are going to find 65 million+ year dino DNA to make a real Jurassic Park? Doubtful.

Dinosaurs never existed. It is all a big conspiracy to undermine your faith in the Lord God. Believing in them is a disease that causes loss of morality. Do not trust the evidence provided by your senses or your brain - just read the Bible and you will be cured of this ailment.
My favorite is the Kentrosaurus:

I like the triceratops. A mean motha with armour, giant horns, a cool shield and a beak that looks like it could rip a car in half.
By the way, the brontosaurus isn't a real dinosaur, some dork stuck the head of a camarasaurus on the body of an apatosaurus, gave it a new name and for some reason nobody figured it out for 100 years or so. They officially dropped the name 'brontosaurus' back in the 1970s but it still floats around. Especially in schools that can't afford new textbooks :p

I think they knew that...
For my fave gotta go with tradition - The Tyrannosaur family. From the Dwarfs to the Rex, all of 'em mean muthas.

Heh! That sounds like something a dirty old man would say: "Hello, baby! Want'a-pat-my-saurus?" :D
My favorites are from the Therapod grouping - dinosaurs like Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, T.rex and the so called "Raptors" (dromeaosaurs).

Godzilla and Grimlock are my two favorite dinosaurs. Even though it can be argued that godzilla isn't a dinosaur.

So, y'all thing the world is only 12,000 years old? Yeah? Well, I got one question for ya. A question in the form of one word.
Dinosaurs.
The fossil record is extensive and well over millions of years old. Now, when I say that to these fundamentalists, they come back with this:
"Oh, uh, God put those there to test your faith."
Uh...I think God put you here to test my faith, pal. Does it bother anyone here that they believe that GOD might be fuckin' with your head? It's like you go up to Heaven and meet Saint Peter and he's askin' ya all kinds of questions and then gets to "Did you believe in Dinosaurs?" And you say, "well sure, it made sense and there was..." then Peter reaches for the lever and FWOOSH! BOUND for the Lake of Fire
"But it was so plausible...there were fossils everywhere...AAAAAAAAAHHH!"
Saint Peter mumbles as he walks off, "Giant flyin' lizards, what are you, stupid? That's one of God's greatest jokes!"
It's as if God was creating the Earth and just buried fossils all over the place thinking "this'll mess 'em up -- let's see how much they believe in me now! I'm a prankster God, I am killing me! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
See now, surely if there were dinosaurs in Jesus' time, they'd have mentioned it in the Bible. I mean, there should be a parable that goes like this:
{ One day, Jesus and his disciples were walking along when suddenly there was this brontosaurus blocking the road...with a thorn in its paw. And lo, the disciples went screaming, "Yikes, what a big fucking lizard!"
"I'm sure gonna write about this in my book!" said Matthew.
"I'm sure gonna write about this in my book!" said Peter.
"I'm not sure what I saw," said Thomas.
Luke smacked Thomas on the head and said "It's a big fucking lizard, Thomas!"
And the disciples were sore afraid, but Jesus walked calmly up to the brontosaurus and pulled the thorn out from its paw, and lo, the brontosaurus became his friend. }
See, now I have a problem with a book that's used to control so many people and is claimed to be the Word of God, but forgot to mention dinosaurs.
Long live the Goat-Boy.

The Jurassic Park idea can't work. The DNA dosen't fossilize, or even survive, for that long. Even though we have found soft tissues and such, we can't extract DNA. My favorite is Tyrannosaurus. It was the highest point of dinosaur evolution when it came to killing things. If you can't tell, dinosaurs are my life.

Any of the coelorasaur dinosaurs. This includes dromeosaurs, troodonts, and to a lesser extent the tyrannosaurids, ornithomimids, and birds.

Who knowns what will come up in the future or what we will be cable of in a century or so. Besides we have planty of living DNA know, as birds.
My favorite is Tyrannosaurus. It was the highest point of dinosaur evolution when it came to killing things.
Each predatory dinosaur had it's own methods for bringing down prey. Most were "slashers" of one sort or another, Ol' T.rex (and kin) were a "chompers" ;)
If you can't tell, dinosaurs are my life.
Really? Congrats, its my living ;)
Heh! That sounds like something a dirty old man would say: "Hello, baby! Want'a-pat-my-saurus?" :D
Only a dirty old man would think that way :p
Really? Congrats, its my living ;)
Oh man I'd love to be a paleontologists. Dinosaurs are one of two of my secret passions, the other being space.

I always thought the Tyrannosaurus was more a scavengar.

Whoo hoo! Those used to be two passions. Now I have moved onto waraming and politics.
Not sure whether that means I am getting more or less mature.
Anyway, fav dinosaurs:
allasaurus, stegasaurus and the Utahraptor (only raptor that any way is like the velocoraptors as portrayed in Jurrasic Park, as most raptors are far too small).

My favourite dinosaur is Sean Connery. Barring that, I would have to go with the T-Rex. But I'd still put my money on Bond.
