Why not a Tyrannosaurus Rex? They are closely related and more well known.When I was in 2nd grade, my goal in life was to be an allosaurus.

Agreed! I hate any kind of small talk. Forced and awkward situations etc. Blah!
Anyone want to do the Sunday Survey questions next Sunday, June 7th??? Volunteers???
Oh, I liked Allosaurus too. Allosaurus was sleeker and had usable forearms.
(Actually, as the theropods go, I really liked Ceratosaurus and had it pegged as a sexually dimorphic version of Allosaurus, but I was completely wrong about that. What do you expect of a 10-year-old?)
No idea--lol. I was obsessed with allosauri. I still think they're pretty interesting!
I recognize myself. Still am interested with dinosaurs in general. Have read several books on the evolution of dinosaurs and find it fascinating.
We have a dinosaur park in my town--replicas of dinos outside and inside, working lab (is that the right word for where they uncast and clean/study dino bones?) and information center inside. It's interesting! My favorite display is of a series of allosaur lower leg bones, ranging from an infant to a male adult. The first is maybe the length of my hand and the last is taller than I am. History/archeology/palentology/anthropology make me happy 
My son used to beg me to go to the Museum of Natural History here in DC. I would take him at least once a month and we would spend most of our time in the Dinosaur exhibit and/or the gift shop buying lots of goodies!
There is a place about 45 minutes from me now that I never knew about until recently. Wish I had discovered it while the kids were little. Dinosaur Land | Step Into the World of the Prehistoric Past
