Going all the way back to first grade, I was a dinosaur nerd, and I believed then as I do now that the best dinosaur is the triceratops, herbivorous living tank of the late Cretaceous. From their frilled head and their horned face, they combine the best parts of a dog, a rhinocerous and a ’57 Buick Roadmaster into one package. Nowadays, they’re even purported to have had a mess of feathers, which makes me wonder if they looked like giant lumbering parrots, leading to today’s Maastrichtian query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) got today’s topic from my kid, proving once and for all that genetics are a thing, y’all, asking: If you could be a dinosaur, what kind of dinosaur would you be?

Stegosaurus, with their pointy tail enabling them to stave off predators without taking a break from their own lunch.
Same for me as well. Mostly because Christmas present of ZOIDS Stegosaurus in the 80’s.
Their Thagomizer, if you will…
