I want silly facts involving dinosaurs, the wierder the better
and any weird bird facts as well. They might come in handy later.

Dinosaurs have lived on all the continents
Happy birthday!
Not too much an old dinosaur like me can contribute, since I grew up thinking the "Brontosaurus" was a legit dinosaur (even had packs of toy plastic brontosauruses mixed in with plastic wooly mammoths!), then it was later said it was really a type of Apatosaurus. (But now they may be separating the two again?)
I do remember as a really small kid going to the 1960s New York World's Fair and visiting the Sinclair Oil dinosaur exhibit; if you've never been aware of this, here's a link that shows the brochure they had: https://cardboardamerica.org/2017/03...-fair-1964-65/
(And somewhere I've still got a copy of that myself!)
Batman rides a dinosaur in Dark Nights Metal #1 and also still owns that robot T-Rex
Before Jurassic Park, dinosaurs got their fifteen minutes of fame on the old Transformers cartoon series from the 1980's as the Dinobots:
Tyrannosaurus Rex: Grimlock
Apatosaurus: Sludge
Stegosaurus: Snarl
Triceratops: Slag
Pteranodon: Swoop

DINOSAUR FACTS!
Tim Burton originally showed interest in directing Jurassic Park.
The first dinosaur fossil to ever receive a name was the megalosaurus.
The iconic dungeons and dragons monsters bulette, the owl bear, and rust monster actually started off as little plastic figures included in dollar store bags of dinosaurs.
Evidence found in Colorado sandstone suggests Dinosaurs performed elaborate mating rituals and basically danced to woo their mate.
Given it's muscular structure, a T-rex's arms could likely be able to move over 400 pounds with ease.
The last dinosaur was named Denver. He's my friend and a whole lot more.
In 2015, a new horned dinosaur was discovered. Scientists named it Hellboy.
In 2017 an new kind of Anlyosaur was discovered. They named it Zuul Crurivastator after Zuul from Ghostbusters.
The largest dinosaur ever discovered is still smaller than a blue whale. The liopluerodon is estimated to be about half the size (depending on your source).
This might be hard to believe, but, dinosaurs still exist. They have co-existed with humans. Check these videos out.

Happy Birthday.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Probably seen before, but I always find this one funny.

I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
Happy Birthday!!!!

Better yet, horseshoe crabs are said to have been in existence since even before there were dinosaurs on the Earth.

And have you ever seen a horseshoe crab use its tail to turn itself over?

Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me
Jurassic Park should have been called Creataous Park.
