I feel like someone needs to keep adding weird topics in CC's absence. I just came across this: link
link This is great stuff. The attraction, called "Professor Cline's Dinosaur Kingdom," imagines a lost chapter from Civil War history. It supposes that in 1863, a group of paleontologists inadvertently stumbled upon a valley of live dinosaurs. The discovery comes to the attention of the Union Army, who, recognizing the destructive power of the giant lizards, decide to capture them and unleash them on the Confederate Army. Naturally, it results in Jurassic Park-inspired carnage:

Yes, would make a great campaign idea for ACW or Western gaming. I would probably step up the period to the 1870's so that Gatling guns and high-caliber weapons could figure in of course. |

As promised: link This is one zoo where you're encouraged to feed the animals: YouTube link And for more background, here's the Washington Post: link PS. It is called "Escape from Dinosaur Kingdom", which makes sense given the theme. |

It looks a lot cooler than the dinosaur park in Holbrook Arizona. And even a little neater than the Las Vegas Natural History Museum's Dinosaur basement.
