Building a triceratops, at top speed

I confess I haven’t been to the Boston Museum of Science in several years, but I might have to go to see the full-size Triceratops skeleton they’ve just installed. Triceratops was my favorite dinosaur back when I was of an age that had favorite dinosaurs … those three horns are so cool! ( I never liked them enough to get a tattoo like that one!)

Speaking of cool, the Globe has a very cool time lapse on the assembly of the skeleton, including the 800-pound skull,  with their article. The only thing lacking is a Mack Sennett soundtrack.

Speaking of dinosaurs, while looking for a free triceratops-skeleton picture I stumbled across the Creation Museum Web site - and their “If dinosaurs could talk” page is just too good not to read.  Here’s a taste:

“Yes, sir! When Adam named all the beasts of the field, it was easy for him to name the dinosaur families, too. There are probably only about sixty actual ‘kinds.’” Most people think that T. rex has always been a meat eater. At the Creation Museum, guests will learn the truth about his original diet.
