ornament to 
sit atop your monitor? Dispair no longer, because DINOMANIA dinosaur 
figurines 
are now here! I received some samples from TJ Scimone of PROMOTOPIA, the 
company that makes them, and they're really fun to snap together and look at. 
A 
franchised American version of the collectible Japanese Chocolasaurus figures 
that 
came out several  years ago, these are beautifully done and generally quite 
accurate, painted little models of dinosaurs, paleobirds and mammals and 
invertebrates that sit on their own tiny stands, and can be snapped together 
in a 
few minutes. >>

       Pete Von Sholly, my buxom buddy, sent me some of these a while back. I 
can vouch for Mark that they are quite excellent. Painful, too, if you step 
on them in the middle of the night on your way to the john after the cats have 
knocked them on the floor. The coelocanth is especially vicious. The mosasaur 
is excellent. They are made by Kaiyodo. DV
