Get the deets on dinos and find out how we know what we know about them, from the hosts of the popular I Know Dino podcast!

Recently, amazing scientific discoveries have transformed what we know about dinosaurs. And it turns out that a lot of what we thought we knew about them was … totally wrong. Fortunately, the I Know Dino! podcast hosts are here to parse dino-fact from dino-fiction and dig into the incredible history of paleontology along the way. .

Fun Fact basket ball was invented in the 30's and they used baskets for hoops and a soccer ball

I will definitely have to share this one of my friends. He's obsessed with basketball so he's get a kick out of it!

I did actually know that! I forgot it was in the back of my mind though, I'm not really into basketball, I play volleyball, track, and field. Do you play basketball, or just enjoy watching?

Oh, that's cool! In general, I don't know much about baseball, but the concept is pretty similar to kickball, am I right?

I hope everyone's doing great, quick question: Original oreos or golden oreos? My answer: I for sure like the golden ones way more! I'm not really a fan of cookies and cream...

Also, what is your opinion on my new background?

Nice touch! Green really fits your avatar!

It’s cool! The green looks great with your avatar :)

It's kind of giving Mediterranean olive color meets pickle, which I'm here for!

Hi, this will be my new account for the HudaR123 account and zainabr139. Just wanted to clarify

First word that comes to mind when you think of spring (don't cheat!) 4. What is your usual outfit in the spring? 5. What is your favorite song to listen to in the spring?....MY ANSWERS: 1. Definitely seeing all the pretty flowers and blooms on trees! 2. Allergies! 😭 They are pretty rough from April-late May 3. pastel (idk why but that's the first word I thought of) 4. It's still pretty cold in the spring so I usually wear a sweatshirt 5. "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles! It's such a vibe especially in spring!...I hope you enjoyed this quiz and I look forward to seeing everyone's answers! Happy spring! 🌷🐣

1. Gardening/stuff with plants and also seeing the weather change, and the flowering trees 2. Allergies and tornados (aslong as they are near homes, otherwise they are really cool) 3. flowers 4. it depends, mostly shorts and a t'shirt though 5. I don't really have a sertian song I

Yeah, flowering trees are gorgeous! Thanks for replying!

1. Just run around outside, and garden! 2. Bees, I guess (they kinda freak me out). 3. Flowers. 4. A tee shirt and either a long skirt or shorts! 5. Hmm, hard to tell considering I can hardly hear anything :\ THANKS FOR THE FUN QUIZ!!

YESSS, bees and wasps are my biggest phobia! And yup, running outside is just so fun! Thanks for replying and you're welcome!

1. To go outside <3 2. All the snow melting.... It's all wet and muddy. Where I come from, spring almost doesn't exist 3. Flowers or beauty... Like no, actually 4. Shorts and a t-shirt 5. I don't listen to one specific one XD | Thanks for the quiz!!

Yeah, the snow can be gross lol! And I definitely miss going outside in the winter, so spring is so nice! Thanks for replying!

1. Gardening! 2. Mosquitos 3. bumblebees 4. t-shirt, perhaps... 5. Also Here Comes the Sun! I love the Beatles :) Wonderful quiz, thanks a lot!

Gardening! I love that! My mom's an avid gardener so I know how rewarding it can be! And yes, Here Comes the Sun is iconic! Thanks for replying and you're welcome!

Yeah! I like old music, along with new music, so it's not often I meet someone around my age, who knows what the heck I'm talking about!

Omigosh, mosquitos are such a pain! When I was in Thailand, I got bitten all over my feet, they ended up barely fitting in my shoes

I am usually the target of mosquitos, that is frustrating....:(

1. Look at the beautiful flowers 2. Getting sick 3. Sunshine 4. It depends 5. A Million To One (it's my favorite song to listen to all year)

Yess, sunshine! I really miss the sun in the winter! Thanks for replying!

1. Watch the flowers bloom 2. Pollen allergies 3. Tulips 4. Maybe a long sleeve? 5. Worship!! Thanks so much for the spring quiz!

Yeah, the flowers are beautiful! And yess on number 5! I love worship all year long but there's something about spring that makes me love it even more! Thanks for replying and you're welcome!

1. I like the weather, there's a little bit of everything - sun and rain, clear and cloudy skies, hot and cold (volatile, but not unpleasantly so) 2. Life gets so busy, school especially 3. spring potential energy, I'm not even kidding T_T (cramming for AP physics next month, can you tell?? 😅) 4. It's the same every year lol - I transition from the winter (long sleeves, long pants) to the spring (short sleeves, long pants) then finally summer (short sleeves, short pants) 5. ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine, though not necessarily because of the season itself :P Thank you for the quiz!! I enjoy your questions, and happy spring to you and everyone :)

Spring potential energy? I'm going to have to steal that, I love it! AP physics?? I'm taking a mixture of physics and chemistry and I finally finished physics and this last semester is chemistry so I feel your pain! Thanks so much for replying and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

We have the same weather, except replace the rain with possible snow. Nooooo, I hope physics goes well. I'm not quite in HS yet, but I'm doing AP®/College Computer Science Principles on KA, so it's not NEARLY as intense. Happy spring to you, too!!
