My friend Diana and I went to the Museum of Natural History last week to meet some dinosaurs (there she is above, with some cavedudes/chicks). We ended up not only meeting dinosaurs but we nearly collided with so many kids that I wouldn't have been surprised if we have developed cooties or have contracted head lice.
I hadn't been to a Museum of this sort in 20 years, and those animal depiction scenes definately looked to be at least that old, in an endearing yet slightly out of date way... And those cavemen figures (that looked like super hairy sex dolls) could use a couple of Mohels. Diana reminded me that Mohels didn't exist in cavemen days.
We saw a breathtaking imax film entitled "Wild Oceans" and another about Dinosaurs (C.G.I. of course) that had too much violence in it for the mostly under five year old crowd in attendance. Lots of bad dreams are in store for those little ones. It was amusing for Diana and I but there were several audible gasps from the parents in the audience. The dinosaur skeleton floor is/was exciting. Holy batmobile there are so many different kinds that we had never heard of, and there were many duck billed dinosaurs like the one I am trying to seduce in the above image. They had mostly real bones- I was worried that there would be many skeleton casts which is no fun. For $32.50 I want to be up close and personal with the real thing!
Oh and there were the most bizarre skeletons of extinct animals- a giant sloth like creature and some sort of armadillo the size of a VW Bug. I highly recommend this adventure to all.
