Ha, that was a fun read. Most of the paleontologists I know have a toy or three on their desk. Of course, the ones I know skew young, of a generation formed by Jurassic Park, but still.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Intriguing angle! I always love to hear when scientists get nostalgic over their influences, especially when it involves toys. :)

This is a well written article that was enjoyable to read. Thanks for sharing Dr. Admin  :)

I know of at least one older one ( 57 ) who also has some in his office and at home. He also got a Battat Diplodocus.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no
