Blasphemy! Everyone, regardless of age, is required by law to like The Land Before Time. It’s the sequels where both the law and dogma get hazy.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this but the three-horn isn’t just a supposition, it is in fact right there on the console. Poor thing gets shoved off when Wash hears the alarm. Cera really had it coming though.

So, how much is an '85 Buick worth?

P.P.S.
BTW, I repeatedly enjoyed Porcelain God through the late 70's and mid 80's, when it was a de rigueur cult classic; although one reviewer bashed it, calling it a "technicolor yawn". I especially liked the 'feeding the ducks' scene.

He also has a Brachiosaur in that same shot.

Depends on the condition it's in. I've seen some in perfect condition sell for $13,500.

My first Riviera (a deathtrap named Ravenous)was free, slapped a new water pump in and used it as a daily driver for 5 months, until it not so gently bumped into a red Jetta.

My current '85 is slowly being turned into a 50's style Leadsled. The car itself cost $997, but the mods could bring the resale value to about $45,000.

when did this become a post advertising cars? I've been away too long!

Anyway. The Firefly dashboard biome also seems to include a Coconut tree and some form of dinosaur with a fin on it's back, face a bit like a Dionychus, but with a fin. Anyone any ideas?

Also - did you know that more people are killed annually by Coconuts than are killed by sharks. So the next time you see a Coconut sneaking up on you in the water - watch out!

My god that's a great quote.

Could it have been a Spinosaurus?

I think it could be! Oh yes! That's the monster! What a beauty!

Thanks for the quote reverence! I used to use that fact when I worked at the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth.

Furthermore, more people are killed by speedboats than are killed by sharks, in the mediteranean. And more people are killed by trousers than by sharks, too!

Don't you just love statistics!

I've had another idea! If it's the future and all they have to work with are earthlike animals and plants, what sort of creatures could you breed?

My idea is cows that are genetically bred with a homing instinct. They also possess wings! The cows home in on the slaughterhouse they were brought up in and get there by flying to it, so not only are transport costs cut down on, but Kentucky Fried Chicken get a whole lot more wing for the buck!
