Nothing said against the art, but again, why did you call it "the _Dinosaur
Blunder Book_"? Since I think that a) my dictionary hasn't erred in giving
"blunder" some related pejorative meanings and b) that "blunder" is related
to German "Plunder", which more or less means "junk"... I just want to know
it.
