As someone who does almost daily dinosaur programs with young children, I
have found it amazing how much kids learned from Jurassic Park. I always ask
what one has to do so that a T. rex can't see him/her and the answer is
always a resounding "STAND STILL!" 
Then I have to explain Dilophosaurus' frill and why ours doesn't have one! I
agree that Jurassic Park was a boon for dino-lovers everywhere, but kids look
offended when I tell them something from JP was wrong!
