A follow up of historic proportions

I wanted to add my own two cents about the alternate history park. After giving it some thought the first thing I realized is there is no wrong answer here... is there a time in human history that wouldn't be better with some dinosaurs thrown into the mix? I guess the only answer that is not a good one is a specific time and location that puts them in too close a proximity to me, otherwise when it comes to alter-dino history count me in for any era. Now, I know that's not why you're reading this... so far all I have done is state the obvious, oh course a dino-human history is more interesting than the real one. So without further ado my take. What about the new world... like when Columbus arrived. I like this one because it works two ways... what I mean is do you think Columbus and the subsequent conquistadors would have been so excited with making land fall if he'd been greeted by some Aztecs riding on the back of a freaking triceratops? Yeah I think they'd have filled their Spanish pantaloons and turned it back around. I guess I'm saying I think dinos beat small pox and gunpowder. On the other hand think how motivated the old-school European powers would have been to try to harness the raw dino-power to unleash on each other back on the continent. It would have been awesome to watch them try to rig some boat capable of bring dinosaurs back across the Atlantic. I know it probably wouldn't have been possible, but if they were gullible enough to think they'd find the fountain of youth or a city made of gold you know these guys would have tried anything. Good times. Anyway I appreciated all the comments and answers so feel free to continue to discuss this important topic.

I guess the future could be cool with dinosaurs too... and if for those of you who were wondering, the answer is yes; I only said that so that I could put this picture. Enjoy.

Is it too much to ask to get dinosaurs with FREAKIN' LASERS?!? Throw me a FREAKIN' bone here!

Honestly people, that's exactly what I thought when I saw this picture.

I don't understand the Dr. Mario connection, but any reason to show Dr. mario is a good reason for me. Kurt good luck on Finals. My first is Friday and 4 next week. Hopefully I get to go onto the second semester of MBA school...lol...i hope:)

The picture KVB and I saw but for some reason is now gone was dinosaurs with lasers. I have no idea why it turned into Dr Mario... but anyway I put a different picture now, though I thought the old one fit the situation better.

Dude, the dino comic is now one of my favorite blogs (next to this one of course). I liked the Midas one the other day.

As for Dinos in history...
