  I'm normally against nit-picking, but I've actually learned a few things
from these postings.  And I'm sure that if any of us tried to write a
novel or make a film, Messrs Crichton and Speilburg would graciously point
out our errors.  So keep on pickin' and grinnin'.  Now for my contribution:
In the scene where the humans in the tree encounter the brachiosaurus, the
brachiosaurus chewed by swinging its jaw from side to side, like a cow.
Perhaps a dino-person can correct me, but I don't think they could do this.
My understanding is that they processed their food in their guts, not with
their teeth.  I'm pretty sure their jaws and teeth weren't designed for
side-to-side chewing.
