Never Forget the Dinosaurs
FOUND by Sarah
in Alaska
My brother and I spotted this little drawing on a bulletin board while visiting some tourist spots in Alaska and we couldn't help but giggle. We also saw it one other place on our trip a few minutes away from the bulletin board. I guess someone was trying to spread the word.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I wear a black wristband for my fallen dino brothers every Sept 8th......
Never forget Nessie, and others like her! The lost monsters of the great bottomless lakes!
Where was it, in Iceland or somewhere, they think they have discovered another Nessie-type creature...can't think of it now.
Busted Tees at Collegehumor.com has this on a tee shirt. I don't know if that came first or the find did.
Sarah Palin, is this your find? Then you probably interpret it as "never forget that man and dinosaur lived together 2000 years ago." I prefer to interpret it as "never forget the facts about dinosaurs: they lived millions and millions of years ago."
Is it a warning? Never forget what happened to the dinosaurs, i.e. adapt or perish? (Though in the face of an asteroid impact or whatever, there really wasn't much they could do.)
I think it means 'never forget that if you steal notes off bulletin boards, a dinosaur will come and bite your backside'.
Never forget (fellow dinosaurs) what they did to us. Rise up and be counted.
(By the way, how big would a nipple cover for a female dinosaur be?)
Never forget your nipple covers from Victoria's Secret.
Oh wait... Dinosaurs don't need need nipple covers. They're not mammals.

Maybe Sarah Palin left it there to remind us that global warning is not caused by man.
I'm just sayin'-- this has nothing to do with my own beliefs.

Sarah Palin, Sarah Pain,
How's by you? How's by you?
How's by you the family? How's your sister Emily?
She's nice too. She's nice too.
(Thanks to Allan Sherman)
Today's Gardening Tip: dinosaur droppings make excellent fertilizer.
Like the treaty of Versaille, Dunkirk and Pearl Harbor - we must never forget that dinosaurs were the real culprits behind 9-11.
Never forget that before there were blue whales (really nice ones), there were blue dinosaurs (unremarkable ones).
AWESOME.
actually, Flargy, the really nice Blue Whale came first...

Never forget to keep working on alternative energy sources- we're running out of fossil fuels.
At first I thought the Finder was Sara(no H). But I see there's an H.
@John, actually dinosaur droppings make petroleum. That's why they're called "fossil fuels." It's also why we're running out, as there are no more dinosaurs to produce the sh+t the modern world needs to keep it running.
Too much wine with lunch, mine thinkit...
@orinoco: you must be talking about the green dinosaurs. I'm talking about the blue ones.
dinosaur droppings also make coporolite. An interesting paperweight and conversation piece.
(all this time I thought it was the dinosaurs' corpses that made the fossil fuels.)
@ Orinoco ... trying to wrap my head around the concept of "too much wine"
And wasn't it mostly the plants on which the dinosaurs fed that later became fossil fuels?
These are drawn all around New Paltz, NY as well.
iono. you're the librarian. you know everything. tell us all.
DeLonghi,
If chicken breasts (with or without nipple covers) are delivered to the grocery store an hour before the eggs, that does not necessarily mean that the chicken came first in the grand scheme of things.
Likewise, the fact that the really nice blue whale was delivered to Found Magazine before the mediocre blue dinosaur does not necessarily mean that whales came first.
Shane, is the Sleeping Turtle still in New Paltz? My old band played there about 10 years ago, and I thought it was a cool little place.
@ slowly ... ok, first off, librarians don't know everything - we just know where to look everything up;
second off [?], I looked it up: oil is from plankton; coal is from plants;
third off, I found an interesting online reference to the "how many gallons of gasoline could you get form a dinosaur?" It's at Google answers under the heading 'Carbon content of fossil fuels and dinosaurs.' Or:
http://answers.google.com/answers/
threadview?id=6021
("The answer is that the carbon content of one tyrannosaur is equivalent to that in about 460 gallons of gasoline.")
Never Forget is the exciting new musical using the songs of the great British band Take That, and "take that!" was probably what God said to the dinosaurs as he hurled the asteroid at the earth, so that must mean that Take That are the reincarnation of God on Earth today. It all makes sense. No wonder they had such a following. Ha, I'm on to you Jason, Gary, Howard, Robbie and Mark! (And I promise, I did have to go onto Wikipedia to get all their names)
@Librarian: I always thought oil was from Venus and plankton was from Mars. Thanks for setting the record straight.
@orinoco
If we're running out of Dino shit, let's just use our own. Somebody do a feasability report on this please.
@Librarian, you're right. It was a literary reference though. Isabel Allende refers in "The House of Spirits" to Venezuela's new-found (then) oil reserves as "porquerÃa de dinosaurio"--dinosaur crap. That plus inexpensive Rioja, and voila! New science!
i like dinosaurs.
ACTUALLY ... I just realized that this Found is done in purple-faded-to-blue magic marker. That means that this has got to be a memorial card from Barney's funeral. Wowzers!
how could I forget the amazing Sperm-asaurus!
Oh, poop! I forgot...
I don't thinks it's a mediocre dino at all, he's really rather handsome, for a dead reptile, that is.
@orinoco: Hooray for inexpensive Spanish wines! I personally enjoy a reasonably-priced Rueda. Though, I have had bad experiences with wine and the interwebs. Mixing the two is not a recommended course of action except on Jez, where it seems to be a matter of course.
Here's a question for the reference desk (or possibly a paleontologist or a biologist) if ever there were one:
How are dinosaurs classified taxonomically? I am assuming, of course, that the answer would be as varied as dinosaurs themselves. As shown in Smallbear's comment above, the popular conception is that dinosaurs were all of the class Sauropsida. Can this be the case, especially given the (relatively) recent linking of some dinosaurs to modern birds? Is that still a valid scientific finding?
LOVE the find. LOVE the threads. Ya'll made my fucking day (and that's saying a lot!).
Unfortunately, have nothing intelligible to add so just keep scrolling down please.
i've seen this graffiti on granville island in vancouver as well. so the artist has been from alaska to vancouver to ny?
My Dino Haiku...
We all talk of gas,
Blue dinos are our source,
We must now conserve.
Interesting how this has appeared in various areas. I would much rather see this cute blue dinosaur than gang graffiti/tagging. The world would a much nicer place...
There have been several great dinosaur Finds here. I guess dinosaurs have always been and always will be a great thing to find.
