Somehow, probably by accident or just plain, lousy, typing
skills, you've landed on the Preview Page of The Center for Cretaceous Studies.
That's ok, we all make misteaks.
You're here now - ya might as well see what this is all about....
WARNING!
SPOILER ALERT!
The Center for Cretaceous Studies is a fictional "business"**.
**NOTE: this page constitutes the ONLY time you will be informed of such fictitious behavior.
Once you leave this page you're on your own, buddy.
Whaaa? Who'da ever thunk that?
A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
This is an institution researching live dinosaurs.
Now, if you actually believe there are live, 40-foot dinosaurs running around on the Earth today, please seek professional
counseling... as soon as you finish visiting our sites!
A few years ago (2006) LotsaSites.com, a website which lists and critiques other websites, posted their findings on The Center
for Cretaceous Studies as "Jurassic Park" meets "The Office" in this tongue-in-cheek look at what would
have happened if Michael Crichton's vision was actually undertaken by morons.
The C4CS website was also named Tripod "Site Of The Month" (December, 2011)
in landslide voting by Tripod members.
How bad can it get? Even our 'friends' over at Art Evolved had this to say (and we didn't even have to ask them!):
"overall most of this "art" [is] in fact stills from movies and TV shows or photographs of dinosaur statues
(badly) photoshopped into other photographs..."
OW! Hey, what d'ya want, Mona Lisa?? This
is paleo-humor NOT paleo-art
and it's not even good paleo-humor.
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS WEIRD WEB SITE
It would be just grand if you are familiar with or somewhat knowledgeable in the Jurassic Park franchise of books and movies
and also current events, particularly current events as they relate to the United States of America.
THOSE STUPID POP-UP ADS...
Argh! We hate 'em as much as you do, but this is a free website, so Tripod has to make $$$ somehow. We apologize for the inconvenience
it puts on your 'enjoyment' but we do NOT make any money from them nor have any connection with them. There's nothing we can
do about it - until there's enough money to spend on actually paying for a website. Again, our sincerest apologies.
TIME OUT FOR A LITTLE BRAGGING...
The Center for Cretaceous Studies site is linked to several real dinosaur-related websites [see 'LINKS' in the navigation
bar when you get there], and more than a handful of real paleontologists have visited. We're kind of proud about that.
It's not like they actually learned anything while they were here, but hey, this ain't some website working off a grant
from the National Science Foundation.
Also, the real-life*, true* story of The Center for Cretaceous Studies is now available as an eBook or paperback!
*our definition of "real-life" and "true" may differ from yours
See details on the Home Page when you get there.
OK. LESS BRAGGING:
