"I wish that I could really tell you
All the things that happened to me, and all that I have seen.
A world full of people, their hearts without joy.
Cities of light with no fear of war,
And thousands of creatures with happier lives
And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to lie.
No need to hate... No need to hide... Keep it dark."

"Is it true I can spread my wings?
Flying high, high; like a bird in the sky
Like an eagle that rides on the breeze
High... high! What a feeling to fly!
Over mountains, and forests, and seas...
And to go anywhere that I please...."

true genius of our strategy shall become apparent, for energy is the
lifeblood of this society, and when the chips are down, he who controls
the energy supply controls Planet. In former times, the energy monopoly
was called 'the power company'. We intend to give this name an entirely

I disagree. Rowling hardly invented the concept of the literary dragon.
There are several other, more deserving books said dinosaur's name could
have referred to -- although admittedly, it /is/ a herbivore. >:)

While this is true, I'm all for honoring ANYTHING that expands the
minds of children into the realms of fantasy, be it Rowling,
Tolkien or any of a dozen other authors.

Same.

And I never meant that naming the dino after Rowling was the "awesome" part.

Seems to be a first, though. Has any other dinosaur been named after
any fictional place/character/etc.?

Not that I know of, so I suppose it qualifies as "awesome" as well
