    Jumbo Dino O.O

    dreadnoughtus !
    the radio is talking about it right nao.
    They would be hard to hug :lol:
    They would take a LOT of Mike-burgers to fill up o.o... in order to support a body length and weight like that, his muscle system would require a whole football team of Mike-burgers, each hour o.0... and can you imagine being around when two of them "got frisky"? >_<.</p>

    A little disappointed at the "artistic representation" though - looks like a larger specimen of one of DinoRaul's models already available (I'm not sure what the name is - not into dinosauralia ;-)... I wonder if Nessie ("Loch Ness Monster") might be a distant cousin...

    That's the theory, a water dinosaur that wasn't told they were all extinct.

    @Dino-Talk: Nah, hadn't seen that article but two of my friends told me about it earlier. They tend to find out about these things before it even makes it to the news because of the folks they hang around. :)
    Heard about it, didn't get to see the pretty pics. So much for the Tyrannosaurus being the "King of the dinosaurs" :lol:

    Would make for an awesome fantasy'ish transport beast though indeed :lol:

    On another topic, I'm getting a new laptop soon. Current one is on its last legs and I'm surprised it's even still running given some of the things it has been through the past few months. Laptop I'm looking at is I think a little bit wider (12.5 inch screen) but overall same resolution, is a quad-core instead of a dual-core so it will likely be able to keep up with my desktop, and it's using a SSD instead of a traditional hard-drive - so it's a touch more expensive than the other laptop I was using as comparison.
    .
    Laptop #1 was $795 and had a 14inch screen
    Laptop #2 was $1,080 and had a 12.5 inch screen
    .
    They're both exactly identical other than the screen size and the latter using a Solid-State Drive instead of a traditional Hard Drive.

    Edit: DAZ doesn't seem to want me to use spaces in my post. Strange! The 'br>' tags are broken? :)
    *Edit2* Hah! guess not. Typed the break html tag in and the forum interpreted it on it's own :lol:

    When I upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 Pro, I had a SSD put in as the main boot drive. It's really fast. It's not huge, but I intend to keep it to only OS and things that really need to be on the boot drive. Everything else goes on what used to be the C: drive and is now the D: drive, or one of the other drives.

    I use Firefox, too. Just noticed my Norton toolbar is back earlier today. Every time there's an update for Firefox the Norton toolbar isn't compatible and I have to wait for it to catch up.

    Darwin the Toon Chimp for Genesis says $4.48 on the catalog page. It said so on the product page, so I put it in my cart. But now it says 9.98. I removed it from the cart. Then the new releases page updated. So I tried again, and this time it stayed at $4.48 in the cart, so I grabbed it.

    Firefox is my main browser yup, but I also use Opera quite often. My secondary browser so to speak :)


    Random but of fun I had earlier...
    I was playing Civilization IV (Running a mod by the name of "Rise of Mankind: A New Dawn") and was thinking back to an "Interactive Story" so to speak that another user was making out of his still on-going game and the world maps he had made through the progression of the game, and thought to make my own ^^

    'Spiria' being me (I picked a Civ at random, and it assigned me the Native Americans. I thought pulling the names of one of my fictional cultures would be fun for this :)

    http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=526938 The story thread I mentioned. Quite interesting I must say :)


    *Edit* For Terre or anyone who else that has played CivIV: The reason there's so many tiny civilizations out in the middle of nowhere is because of an (optional) feature in A New Dawn, and that is the ability for Barbarian cities to become "Minor" civilizations which can then grow into full-blown nations. A 'Minor' nation cannot partake in any diplomacy with other nations, until they grow to a certain size or accomplish a significant feat (I.e. building a World Wonder or caputring a rival city)

    Bismark of Germany for example was one such barbarian-spawned civilization, and is actually catching up with the main pack on the home continent! :lol:

    Olive Ocean for example, in the GBA game I'm playing.

    One civilization wasn't present in my previous map. Asoka of India - he had declared war on me and my vassal Darius of Persia, and I did not relent until his empire was fully mine :lol:
    First war I had been in during that game.


    Screenie of his former land...

    I dunno what those red circles on the map are, but they show up when I enter Debug mode (Which I was using to reveal the world when taking the screenshot I used as a base for the map earlier). I just forgot to disable Debug Mode before taking this screenshot :)

    This afternoon the biker bar I hang out at is having a benefit for the local children's hospital cancer unit, live music, free food, etc. - I'm going to drop over and give a donation. :cheese: Bikers in Tulsa are a friendly bunch, in the main, so I expect they'll make a lot for the hospital.
