    Akshually, modern birds are descended from dinosaurs, effectively making them dinosaurs themselves. So humans did, and still do, live with dinosaurs.

      Preach! And it’s not even “effectively,” birds are dinosaurs—full stop. They are avian dinosaurs.

      I went to Australia and went with a tour group and the bus stopped. All of the cars were stopped on the road for some reason. The tour guide said “nobody get out of the vehicle!” Then I saw a velociraptor with a couple of baby velociraptors just walking down the side of the road.

      I think they call them cassowaries, but if you see how they move, those things are goddamn velociraptors.

      I suspect many survey respondents were right for the wrong reason, or vice-versa. I have two dinosaurs in my house right now.
