@etschopp Definitely not the last one, why you you limit yourself to a single era?

@mike @etschopp Most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are Cretaceous, but the name still bangs. 🦖

@AdamStuartSmith @etschopp That has always bothered me. You say "the name still bangs" but I think we've merely become accustomed to it over the 30(!) years since it came out.

@mike @etschopp I'm sure Crichton gave it a lot of thought when he came up with it! I bet he had a few drafts of 'Dinosaur Park' and 'Mesozoic Park' but eventually settled on 'Jurassic Park' for a reason. A bold decision at a time when Jurassic was jargon.

If that bothers you, then you'll hate the Dinosaur Toy Blog, which features far more than dinosaur toys, as I'm frequently reminded. But then you know all about literal blog titles ;)

@AdamStuartSmith True on blog titles.
