(Aug. 4)Dinosaurs are walking the gardens of earth again - well New York's Madison Square Garden at least. "Walking with Dinosaurs" is an exhibit so large, it only fits in sports arenas. Based on the British Broadcast Corporation's (BBC) documentary series, the show details the creatures 200 million-year rule on earth and combines lessons in climate change, evolution and plate-tectonics. Bringing the prehistoric creatures to life is accomplished with sophisticated 21st-century technology. SOT Matthew McCoy, puppeteer "ALL THE LIVE PUPPETS YOU SEE IN THE SHOW ARE ONE AND A HALF TONS. THEY'RE CONTROLLED BY THREE PEOPLE SO THERE'S ONE PERSON UNDERNEATH, DRIVING THE PUPPET THROUGH ITS CHOREOGRAPHY. THEN THERE'S ANOTHER PUPPETEER UP HERE CONTROLLING THIS APPARATUS, WHICH WE CALL A 'VOODOO RIG'. THIS ARTICULATED SPINE THAT YOU SEE HERE HAS ALL THE AXES OF MOVEMENT THAT THE PUPPETS HAVE DOWN THERE." Realistic movement is one thing, but selling that look to the crowds required sophisticated choreography and music. [Notes:UPSOUND - Dinosaurs]And sell it they did.[Notes:SOT: Nick Barbera, Visitor]IT WAS MARVELLOUS. DINOSAURS ARE SUPERB."[Notes:SOT: Yale Kaufman, visitor]"THE SCARIEST PART WAS DEFINITELY WHEN THE T. REX CAME UP TO OUR ROW AND STARTED SCREAMING. THAT WAS PRETTY SCARY. BUT IT MADE IT ALL BETTER WHEN THE LITTLE ONE STARTED TO GO WITH IT. IT WAS LIKE 'RARRR' SO, YEAH, THAT WAS PRETTY FUN, TOO." [Notes:Wide: Kid running out door covering his ears]But for some attendees, all that realism was a bit too much. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)

Toch blijf ik het raar vinden. Ze vinden beenderen van die dino's en geven gelijk maar een naam, hoe weten ze dat dan, dat het een T-rex is en al die anderen dino's. En hoe zijn ze er achter gekomen dat zie die geluiden maken. Hoe weten ze dat nou weer? Voor de rest van het filmpje vind ik wel gaaf gemaakt.

I took my sister to see this the night before my birthday... It was fantastic! So much better than I originally anticipated :)

My friend is a stage hand at Madison Square Garden, and he told me about this recently.

For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out
the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for
cruising around town, or running to the store.
The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in
two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun
Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior
fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel
trim and the door inserts match the body.
