I thought it had been re-named “Apatasaurous” or something like that a few years back. (Had the wrong head or some other such mix-up when “first” discovered?)
Which, of course, helps explain his comment in Panel one.
“pre-dinosaur trees as the basis for oil and coal has confused people long after things changed.”.Or algae for petroleum.No dinosaurs were harmed in the making of this petroleum.
When I was a kid, a favorite indoor pastime was building and painting plastic model kits. I mostly built cars, ships, airplanes, and even a guillotine! The models I built also included a Stegosaur as well as a Brontosaur. I wish I still had those old models; but unfortunately, they are long gone!.Now, of course, they call the Brontosaur an Apatosaurus! Why is beyond me; after all, what difference does it make? To me it will always be a Brontosaur! Nobody alive today was around when these creatures roamed the planet and might have made friends with one!.Ok, so maybe there are one or two who are old enough…
