Something about that gymnast-juxtaposition pic makes me want to do a whole book on dinosaurs with absurd comparisons of dino size, weight, speed, etc with various numbers of human professionals.<br /><br />You could have a line of meat-loving blokes sitting at tables in a steakhouse to compare with how much a <i>T. rex</i> could gulp down in a single bite, or you could depict a typing pool of sufficient size to be able to cover the side of an <i>Argentinosaurus</i> in 5 minutes with a standard office memo printed in Times New Roman pitch 12 (and then state how long it would take a two-person high-rise window washing team to clean all of the print off).<br /><br />Hmm, think I may have over-thought that.Mark Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197384873600545231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-9142086632067075742012-04-02T23:21:53.129-04:002012-04-02T23:21:53.129-04:00I have the edition that focuses on all life from t...I have the edition that focuses on all life from the start of time till the dawn of man, Prehistoric Animals. It was a hand me down. It's one of the most fantastic books ever produced. Such wonderful models and beautiful scenes. These were the creatures that set imaginations on fire.

I, as a child, (for some strange reason) always thought they were photos of real creatures. I think later I reasoned that they were mummified remains. Does anyone know why these models were created? were they in a museum? where are they now? are they buried somewhere in Don Glut's house?tnthielenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987561678868753828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-17791157372740098212012-04-02T19:02:54.603-04:002012-04-02T19:02:54.603-04:00I have that very tyrannosaur in another book - Pre...I have that very tyrannosaur in another book - <i>Prehistoric Animals</i> by Ellis Owen (1975) - featuring lots of models, dioramas and images of real fossils too.Mark Wildmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644970562043088893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-29302472934766299512012-04-02T17:41:33.112-04:002012-04-02T17:41:33.112-04:00Another one I had as a young child (though it was ...Another one I had as a young child (though it was wildly dated then too).
