Nerdy Trivia: April 18, 2025

Happy National Velociraptor Awareness Day!

Not sure why we need a whole day dedicated to awareness about an extinct predator that hasn't been around for 70 million years. But then again, "Jurassic Park" probably gave everyone mild anxiety about raptors hiding in kitchen cabinets. At least we can sleep soundly knowing the real ones were actually turkey-sized and covered in feathers and not as scary as the movie versions. Actually, at that size I might've picked one up at a PetSmart.

Before everything went wild, which prehistoric beast did we first see?
