Whats all this fuzz about?
Today I was giving my daughter her lunch while watching TV. Martha Speaks was on and we saw a dinosaur chasing a caveman. I was just about to explain to her that the fierce looking creature is a dinosaur when she turned to me all excited shouting T-Rex, T-Rex , pointing to the TV!! I was taken by surprised to see that my daughter, who by the way just turned 2 last month, not only knows that its a dinosaur, but also knows its species!! I remember very vividly that I was first introduced to dinosaurs in 7th or 8th standard in English class in India. We had a chapter on these pre-historic cold blooded animals, and back then it all sounded just like an story from long long time ago. But here in US dinosaurs sound more real to me. Even though Man and dinosaurs are many millions of years apart, now a days there is more awareness about dinosaurs, there is so much more information and we have identified more number of species than ever. We have more knowledge on how they might have lived,
