[Crackington]

Yes, speak of the devil...

Have you ever walked in fossil sauropod footprints?

[Lanthanotus]

Yes, speak of the devil...

Have you ever walked in fossil sauropod footprints?

Unfotunately not (yet, you better don't probably for the means of preservation?), I though have lain my hand into a theropod footprint, that is only visible at low tide on Australia's coast.

Have you ever drove a vehicle illegally?

[Shonisaurus]

No, I have a car and I don't know how to drive.

Not to my recollection.

Nah, I'm not the thrill-seeking type.

Ever camped overnight in a mountain area?

[Shonisaurus]

No, I have never camped on a mountain.

Have you ever bathed in ice water?

[Halichoeres]

I don't know about ice water, but I've bathed in cold water when camping for work, that kind of thing.

Have you ever been pilloried for an innocuous but unpopular opinion (for example, "I don't like avocadoes")?

[Shonisaurus]

Yes, I have been ridiculed a lot of times during my childhood.

Have you ever turned down a compliment because you think you are not deserving of it?

[Halichoeres]

Oh definitely. I am always highly suspicious of compliments

Have you ever had a butterfly or dragonfly land on your outstretched hand?

[Bread]

Yes, I have had a dragonfly land on my outstretched hand. Used to live by a pond that always had swarms of them.

Have you ever held an Alligator?

[Mirroraptor]

 Never. I have kept some reptiles, I have held Varanus exanthematicus and Iguana, but I have never raised crocodiles.  Have you ever been bitten by a salamander?

[Halichoeres]

If so, it was a salamander small enough that I didn't notice it (I've only ever handled small plethodontids).

Have you?

[Halichoeres]

Why, yes! But in the days before cell phones, so no harm done.

Have you ever camped in a desert?

[ceratopsian]

Yes. The only time I have ever camped. Three nights under canvas in southern Libya in the Sahara on a trip looking at rock art.

Have you ever broken down in the desert?

[Mirroraptor]

Not yet. But an interesting experience is that we once traversed a desert in Xinjiang, China with an expedition team by CIBCAS. On the half way, we were intercepted by military vehicles and the soldiers told us that we were about to enter the former nuclear test area. This scares me.

[Libraraptor]

The eye scene in event horizon.
