Re: How to Keep Dinosaurs

[Dora Smith <villandra@austin.rr.com>]

Five little dinosaurs in their cage behind me.   I thought that's what the 
book is about!

As for intelligence, many parrots can carry on intelligent conversations in 
English, and solve picture puzzles.

My dinosaurs regularly make comments (sic) about dem 'tupid 'dynabtids. 
'Dyanabtids are ugly, broad, and squat, they smell, and their brains are 
full of empty space!
