I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
Srsly, if I had that kind of money that I wouldn't miss it, I'd buy the dinosaur for $300K.

To watch over my Estonia, of course. :) It is the ultimate in objet trouvé.

We had a couple tall wooden dinosaurs. We built them. When our little one was little we'd put them high on a ledge on top of the stairwell. They looked down on us in the kitchen. Some days the sun would catch them & they'd cast eerie shadows. :Eeek:

Me too. I used to collect fossils, but they do take up a LOT of room to display properly.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

We bought a ?meso something tooth once from a legit vendor (rather hubby did). It's packaged up in our son's treasure box. I kind of wonder if it's legal to have that.

No they wouldn't.
I'd want a huge room with a vaulted ceiling for the real thing.
IT's lounger (the one I covet) would look tres cool in there.
