| Quote (Kristine @ June 03 2007,20:52) | Add to that the fact that, according to a reporter for Esquire, the saddles on the dinosaurs at Hammie's "museum" are hornless English saddles, not really meant for riding but for dressage competitions and stakes races.

Yes, a big old roping saddle makes soooooo much more sense.
EDIT: With further thought, I think it makes far more sense that early humans would have ridden dinosaurs in English saddles. The western saddle is a generally utilitarian saddle developed for ranch work. The horn, in particular, was added to aid in such work. The cowboy had more control of a roped cow when he dallied, or looped, the rope around the horn. Now, since in those early days, all of God's creatures were vegetarian, if follows that there was no ranching. Therefore, there was no roping of cattle and, follow me here, no need for a horn on any saddle. Ipso Facto, Adam probably rode in an English saddle. QED.

Kind of like how this is a rent-to-revelation planet?
