A few years ago when we're visiting Sarah's family down in Virginia we decided to take a little road trip down to Charlottesville and see Monticello (seen here).
It was impressive. I have to say Jefferson was a thinker with all the gadgets in the house. Anyway if you ever have the chance to go I'd recommend it. While we were there we say advertisements for the Virginia Natural Land bridge. We didn't go see it but I guess we were in the area of it. If only I'd known what I was
missing also click
here for a better explanation and pictures. I picked up this link from
Dinosaur Comics, naturally.
This is why I think this is so funny. In this alternative history Union soldiers from the Civil War find dinosaurs, and decide they would be useful in fighting. If you found a hidden valley of dinosaurs on horseback, wouldn't you just try to get out of there as fast as possible? Why would you think you could domesticate them or use them to your advantage? I guess some people have some time on their hands to think about how much more fun history can be if you just through dinosaurs into the mix... and then construct the scene as a park. So my question (I wanted to make this a poll, but there are just too many options) to you my readers... what event in history would you most like to see dinosaurs randomly thrown into the mix (comment and discuss)?

I think that the gladiatorial games could have done with some dinos. This concept was contemplated (albiet a crappy execution) by the second prequal Star Wars.
I can't believe that you guys weren't taught that dino death marches were the difference as the North conquered the South. Kurt and I learned that in high school.
If it happened in any other time it should have been in the 1950's. Well that would have been the only idea that they did not include in the latest Indy Jones movie.
If you and KVB learned that in high school... I guess that says something about Belding High School. I heard something about how they are big on football and not so big on books. Love to hear the comments on dinosaurs in history. I've been thinking about this myself... I'll have to comment again soon to pick an era to "dino it up."
I was gonna say what KVB said. Place some dinos in the Colossum and enjoy the bloodbath!
Imagine Gone with the Wind with Dinosaurs. " As God as my witness, I'll never let my family be eaten by dinos again!".
OR George Washington crossing the Delaware with a nArmy of T rexs behind him. Those Red coats would have pood their panties!
