dinosaur vision

"Dinosaur eyes take in a wider view, bending in at the edges like a glass globe filled with water. Nothing is gray or drab or dull; rather they see swimming particles of color, a moving mosaic of dancing colored specks. As we would see a starscape in the night sky, they see a sparkling "lifescape" in the woods by day, a world teeming with life.

Some humans see with dinosaur vision, Bix explained: artists, poets, and children. But for the rest of us, as we grow older, the mammalian part of the brain clouds over the reptilian part, and drains away a little glory of the world." --James Gurney, "Dinotopia"

Rose lenses or dinosaur vision, I tell you life is still glorious. Or at least, I want to believe that it is. Give me screwdriver so that I might fix these damned glasses!

Awkward Dinosaur

A hand gesture made by placing four fingers on a surface with the middle finger straight out to resemble a dinosaur similar to a brontosauraus. Used in an awkward situation to release the tension. Very similar to the Awkward Turtle. This was created by John Crawford of Crystal River and used in his classroom.

When telling a joke that no one gets, one can sometimes get a laugh by using the awkward dinosaur in conjunction with a "Roooaaaaar"

Mr. Crawford discussing the Constitution "And thats why they call it clause and effect!"
