    Or the rexes mourning their own fate and that of their curled-up baby rex in its nest as Chicxulub hurtles toward them in their final moments.

      Or maybe they’re two hard working rexes toiling at the sawmill

      Dude. You need to paint this. It’s a perfect art project. Make sure the outline is clearly the nativity scene, but color in the dinosaurs…

    This is an oldie but a goodie. Someone puts one of those up at one of the entrances to our subdivision ever Christmas and I always chuckle thinking about it when I drive by.

    I can’t see what the thing in the middle is supposed to be besides a table saw, but I can’t see the rexes either, just people praying. Why would they pray over a table saw?

      Dinosaurs are, in fact, real and they can, in fact, hurt you. Especially don’t fuck with this one:

        About as descriptive as calling it a tetrapod tho

              “Birds are living dinosaurs, just as we are mammals,” said Julia Clarke, a paleontologist studying the evolution of flight and a professor with the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin.

              In spite of the physical differences that distinguish all mammals from other species, every animal in that group — living and extinct — can trace certain anatomical characteristics to a common ancestor. And the same is true for birds, Clarke told Live Science.

              “They’re firmly nested in that one part of the dinosaur tree,” she said. “All of the species of birds we have today are descendants of one lineage of dinosaur: the theropod dinosaurs.”

              Think I’ll go with the paleontologist on this one.

                I am not disagreeing. Birds are dinosaurs. But it’s not a particularly useful way of understanding them for the average person. You might as well be extremely insistent that they’re chordates. Do you remind people that trees aren’t a taxonomic group every time they come up in conversation?

                  I don’t, but I try to.

    I unironically saw one of these and could not for the life of me see anything other than the t-rex’s. I thought it was odd, but also better than the other decorations.

    You’re all wrong. That’s two T-rexes about to eat Eric Cartman.
