Meanwhile, in another part of the primeval forest…
Steven Spielberg has been trolled by numerous Facebook users after a photo was shared of the director with a mechanical Triceratops on the set of 1993 film Jurassic Park.
The image was posted on the Facebook page of Jay Branscomb as a joke, alongside the caption:
“Disgraceful photo of recreational hunter happily posing next to a Triceratops he just slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable man.”
Incredibly, a fair few members of the public didn’t grasp that the picture was taken from the Jurassic Park set, believing that Spielberg had actually poached a dinosaur…

The real tragedy is the shameful over-fishing of trilobites.

… and besides, it’s obviously not dead – it’s resting.
All the while pining for the fjords!

Only Spielberg knew where the magic pressure point was (ie the off switch).

Back to the real world, I noticed a report that scientists have detected blood cells in a Cretaceous dinosaur bone, interesting.

@Chigau:
Obviously, he wrestled the beast down with his bare hands when he ran into it while taking a stroll in the woods. No need for guns.

Do you know how heavy and awkward a Holland & Holland calibre .500/465 Nitro Express ‘Royal Delux’ Double Rifle is? After one shoots the game, one gives the rifle to the bearer, the wallah whose job it is the carry the weapon.
