Aside from the educational aspect, dinosaurs are a very bad example for children. At my children’s school, several children were left in tears after one of their classmates (who had evidently been exposed to dinosaurs), became bestially-minded and ran around the classroom roaring and pretending to be a dinosaur. Then he bit three children on the face.
“Have you seen that dinosaur Mumsnet troll?”
Yes, yes I have, it’s hilarious.
“Which one of your lot was it?”
To be fair, the fact it generated 40 pages of replies does indicate that it was not a STWer. If it was one of us we would have been outed, flounced or hit with a ban hammer long before they did.
well, given it turns out that Dippy the Dinosaur is being removed from the lobby of the natural history museum after being exposed as a fake, perhaps they are on to something?
As JHJ would say…I’m not saying it’s true, but it makes you think!
Ummm, I’m pretty sure that the descriptive plaque below the skeleton reveals the fact that it’s a replica cast in plaster from the Pittsburgh original.
Anyone actually expressing surprise that it’s a fake that has been deceiving people for years deserves to have small children point at them in the street and laugh.
Loudly.
Got ten pages in, enjoying it so very much, I’ve saved it onto my homescreen for quiet enjoyment.
Many thanks to HH for the post and link, so much fun to be had, shame it’s been closed to new replies.

I’m not gonna dismiss that out of hand, but sometimes when I hear ‘this girl at work is so thick’ stories on here I wonder if it’s not a case of..
‘The creepy bike geek from work is really starting to freak me out, I’m gonna tell him that I believe in unicorns or something.. hopefully that’ll make him leave me alone’
Many years ago when i still lived at home my mum had both me and my father in stitches when she was adamant that Seahorses werent real, she then dug deeper and reeled off a load of other ‘fictional’ animals including….dinosaurs.
I’ve just been having a quick read through on mumsnet (I’m not joining the fb group – too scared)
At first I was in support of the mockery and there were some very witty retorts, but thinking about it..
If a dinosaur had forced itself on my child I’d probably hold a bit of a grudge too

She also thought cheese grows on trees “my mum has a cheese plant” another question was “how many cows do they kill for a 4 pint bottle of milk?”
“They also took the opportunity to ruthlessly mock a man who offered to “drive anywhere, up to an hour” to have no-strings-attached sex with any users who were up for it.”
Any one got anything to confess?
