Dragonflies as long as your arm, and they could (and should) make a sci-fi horror film about Arthropleura (look it up). |

I can actually see the extension of the legs better now that you mention it, point well won. The semantics of sauropods of course dictate that the term rear legs is redundant, as the rear limbs would be legs and the front limbs the arms ... I applaud your efforts on the childs behalf! Saurpods are a love of my own as well....and I suggest at some point sharing with him such awesome animals as Amargasaurus Cazaui, Mamenchisaurus, and my personnal favorite mounted in the New york museum of Natural history, Barosaurus! I will share with you a few of the saurpod pieces I keep around the living room .   This first piece pictured is massive Diplodocus Sacral vert, in fact the final vert in the sacral before the tail begins.The size of a small car wheel and weighs in at 26 pounds....a sub adult .  this next piece is a 50 pound ball joint from the end of a sauropod femur joint...I also have a section of the shank from this same limb pictured next  This final shot is a neck or dorsal vert section from an apatosaurus..the disc shape would be from the actual vert, and the wings shaped area with hollows sitting atop it would be the processes as they would sit between the two discs. I have had this one solidified, prepped and the hollows blown empty to demonstrate the enormous amount of air storage in these verts.  Thanks for sharing the story of your own little diorama for your son. No time spent encouraging a child to love dinosaurs is ever wasted! |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia I understand the point you are making. Sometimes is it better to not to point out the errors that are made by those that have zero experience in whatever field. For example, watching TV or movies involving law enforcement, clearing rooms/buildings, or tactical situations would be impossible for people in the profession, trained/certified to do it, and have done it. Just so many dumb mistakes that are shown. For that matter, children playing with toy weapons should drive firearms instructors batty. Kids use their booger pickers to cycle their “guns” while pointing them at other kids. That being said ration people see it for what it is…entertainment or play. It isn’t based in the really real world. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater True but let’s give credit when realism is indeed attempted and even achieved. It happens. Case in point, driving simulators. What were originally video games with little relationship to real car physics have evolved tremendously… early cross-over into professionally utilized and expensive sims eventually converged back to games. You can now play games on home gaming rigs that effectively simulate real racing… enough that it does in fact translate to real world driving. I don’t track cars much anymore but if I want to keep my left foot braking technique or heel/toe shifting sharp, I can hop on my sim and it is pretty close. Close enough that I taught my wife manual transmission on one before letting her practice on a real car… |

| @Davethebrave Then there's the question of cost. Most consumers don't expect a $0.50 injected plastic molded toy to have the same level of realism as a driving simulator that can cost well into four figures or five figures. | ||

| but of course we do , you have to be able to teach people how to drive on plastic dinosaurs and especially how to use the clutch.....sometimes you have to just shake your head at peoples attempts to make false equivalence comparisons. | ||

| The 1960's Spidey Cartoon thread made me realize I haven't shown these in a while (if I ever did). These are the storyboards sent to Mike Royer who contributed to the series. Trivia- Mike was asked to voice Peter, but circumstances (that I can't recall at the moment) prevented it.                                              |

| Earlier in the season I had posted a mail call from Sydney Durso Macarthur, the Dallas cheerleader that recently ended her 7 year streak cheering for the squad, then consulted for the movie Billy Flynn''s Long Halftime walk, for Ang Lee, and then returned to Dallas to cheer for a season for the Dallas Mavericks, before launching her own business, then settling down to raise kids and get married. Sydney is one of the alum I have a great deal of respect and admiration for , so I had written her and asked her to sign a few things for my collection.      Sydney Durso Macarthur   Anyways, recently Sydney sent me a link to a local newstation interview she had done, during which she mentioned her "referral Associate" program for her business. I signed up. Here is her store, she has some pretty awesome stuff. https://livelovegameday.com/?ref=cFpvohjaznwxeU If you decide to order, let me know and I will provide you with my discount code for 20 percent off! You have to love the humor in some of her T shirts she is offering though |
