"Everyone has a favorite dinosaur. Go to your local natural history museum and make sure yours is properly displayed."
I'm definitely going to have to go with the Spinosaurus for my favorite dinosaur. Big, weird, and totally bad ass (sound familiar?) The Spinosaur was like a T-Rex, except way bigger, with bigger arms and a head like a crocodile. Also, it had a big weird spiny fin on it's back for some reason, nobody's quite sure. But it's the biggest of all the carnivorous dinosaurs, and definitely the biggest bad ass.
Unfortunately, the only fossils of the Spinosaurus that have ever been found were destroyed during the bombing of Munich in WW2. So even if we had a natural history museum, I really don't think they'd have any Spinosaurus displays around. *sigh* Oh well, a man can dream
They have a reconstructed one in Japan. Go to it! Also Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaur I think has this in it?
