In my last post I asked some incredibly pressing questions to Dr. Scott Sampson aka Scott the Paleontologist. Questions that any parent of a Dinosaur Train fan wants to know... I got a reply and I have to say Dr. Scott is hilarious and pretty awesome... But I'm a fan of science humor... So here are his responses in line with mine. They're in blue because that's the color of most of Shiny Pteranodon. Dear Scott the Paleontologist, My son Miloh and I are fans of Dinosaur Train and as an avid fan I have some questions regarding it that I hope you can answer: The train is a steam engine. Does it run off coal? If it does use coal is there a possibility that greenhouse gases from that could have lead to the extinction of dinosaurs? How come this isn't a theory? Very interesting question. Yes, to the best of my knowledge, the Dinosaur Train runs on fossil fuels, but we actually do have an episode upcoming where we investigate alternative fuel trains.

This is adorable. Also? Astonishing that you're managing to keep anything resembling a remotely accurate count of any of these.
ReplyDeleteI *love* your week/month in numbers graphics and Mommy is totally jealous that she is not crafty like that and can't make a few for me!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. Did you design it yourself? Very creative!
ReplyDeletethanks...yeah I design these myself.
ReplyDeleteThe count is kind of easy because at first when we needed to keep track of Miloh's eating because of jaundice from Staci's Gestational diabetes...now we continue to keep a record...it's not perfect but pretty close.
And I geek out a bit on info presented like this so that's why I do it...hopefully more representations in the coming month...it takes longer than I thought to do these.
this is so cute. I wish I was creative and had skills to put together something like this!
ReplyDeletei love this. really. a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks all.
ReplyDeleteSince some folks on twitter said they would buy one of these for their baby I'm going to work out the logistics of creating them.
Love it!!
