Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all

Bizarre Dinosaurs – National Geographic Magazine Online   Leave a comment

http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2007/12/bizarre-dinosaurs/updike-text

Great article about the puzzling features of some dinosaurs. It includes a gallery that describes those features and another about older, not so accurate views of dinosaurs.
I like the way the author presents something that might appear as “bizarre” to us as something the purpose of which we don’t even have the slightest clue, and how he states that as evolved and intelligent a species homo sapiens might be, we don’t represent that much of an improvement.

The mouth of Masiakasaurus speaks to how this German shepherd-size meat-eater survived in the river basins of northwestern Madagascar, near the end of the dinosaurs’ reign. But what is it saying?

Beautiful paintings. It’s one of those annoying sites where, if you right-click, there appears a copyright message.

The ocean is a central image. It is the symbolism of a great journey.

What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt – it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else.

Now this is really something other than else! This young man gets the chance to sail his RC Queen Mary scale model next to the real Queen Mary in Long Beach! Wonderful!
