I still haven’t forgiven him for the removal of the iOS “skeuomorphs.”

Ah, but who were the first to name their neighborhood/town/city Hollywoodland?

Humanoid Troödon?

Never heard of that! Like something from a fantasy novel.

That was the idea, yeah. (After going back and forth it looks like the name Stenonychosaurus won out over Troodon, which was based on a tooth that can’t be identified that precisely.)

A real estate developer. Which never bodes well, if you ask me.

That makes me wonder if any other town names changed because the last 4 letters of the sign fell down during a storm and weren’t replaced?

Tangentially related, there’s a hotel in Dallas (or at least used to be) called the Hiltop.

Yes, one L. The P was on canvas.

There are a couple of series about “what if the dinosaurs didn’t die out/survived elsewhere and developed technology”; one is Rob Sawyer’s Quintaglio Ascension series (Far-seer, etc), where dinosaurs were transported to an earth like planet by aliens to escape extinction,and the t-rex’s developed technology. The other was Harry Harrison’s “Eden” series (West of Eden, Winter in Eden and Return to Eden) about dinosaur survival into the Neolithic period of a humanoid species which had evolved from a South American monkey species.

Not exactly what you were thinking of, but not too far off.

Honestly, i think plenty of Americans probably depend on their pharmacists for help like this
 I recently had to pick something, and was behind an older couple asking for advice of some variety from the pharmacist. I didn’t really hear what they were asking about, but they were there for a few minutes asking about something important.

I don’t doubt it, but whenever I see that happening, it’s about billing and insurance questions, not medical ones.
