Obviously the sharkasarus

I'd like velociraptors if I didn't actually know they were much smaller than in the movies.

[Zhukov]

Heh. As a kid I was all about the triceratops.

[tannim]

I've always been partial to Teryx from Dinosaucers, but that's probably not quite what you meant

[Jacktheawesome]

I always liked the Archaeopteryx, by virtue of its name. That was the kind of kid I was anyways...

[Count Roland]

Hah I remember in like sixth grade they gave out a prize to whoever could pronounce it on the first try, I pwned it because I'd been reading dinosaur books since before kindergarten. which is why in first grade I kicked my music teacher in the shins when she tried to tell me that an allosaurus was herbivorous.

[Jacktheawesome]

psh. Dino-ignorant serf.

Pterodactyl, because they are so awesome! ... and words that start with Pt are awesome, too.

[Jacktheawesome]

Ptolemy wasn't very awesome.

[nutcracker]

As a kid I liked stegosaurus, got spikes to kill shit with. I also liked other heavily armored tanks with tail weapons. But now I think my favorite would be one of the raptor kind, like egoraptor.

When I was a kid ...

I read science fiction novels (jules verne, H.G. Wells, Issac Asimov, etc) and books about robotics.

I had no interest in dinosaurs what so ever

(sometimes I feel as if I don't quite belong in this forum :C)

[Count Roland]

Hah I read all of those too (do you like theodore sturgeon?) and basically anything else I could get my hands on, which was a lot.

[kehaar]

Ptolemy wasn't very awesome.

Oh, he got a little bit of thinking done... especially for how weak science was back 2000 years ago.

[Jacktheawesome]

I don't deny that Ptolemy had some ideas in his time, but unfortunately because of the Church's adoption of his writings, later thinkers like Copernicus had a very hard time getting their findings heard, and some weren't even acknowledged until fairly recently.
