 Anyway, I said something like: there was another dinosaur question on the
show a few nights ago.  Something like "Which of these was not a dinosaur?:
Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, or Regisaurus."

Sorry Steve, _Regisaurus_ is already spoken for.  It's a rather
doggy-looking little therocephalian from the base of the South African
Triassic (Mendrez '72 & Mendrez-Carroll '75).  How about _Gameshowsaurus_
for that newly discovered dinosaur?
