We all know and love Jurassic Park. Chances are some of ya'll even dreamed of having your very own dinosaur, despite the whole killing and eating the entire cast thing.


Jerry Adams, of Cwmbran, Wales, brought this dream to life when he purchased a giant dinosaur prop at a charity auction. It's 15 feet high and has been installed outside his home.

Take a look at this. We're living in 2019 and Jerry here is living in 3019.

Adams purchased the dinosaur for £1,600 at an auction by the The National Showcaves Centre for Wales. It was later transported around 50 miles from Swansea, Wales, to its new home.

What a sight:

It definitely got people talking, that's for sure:



It's clear the dinosaur brings Adams a lot of joy:

It arrived yesterday and people were still taking photos with it at 11pm. I just thought it was a brilliant idea to raise money for the charity. I've got 12 grandchildren - two with autism and one with Asperger's - and when the dinosaur arrived they spent ages rubbing their hands over it and just feeling what it was like.

I'm not the wealthiest person but I wanted to help the charity and the main thing was getting it for the grandchildren. Lots of people go walking in the area and it's lovely speaking to people about it as they pass by on their walk.

The children are thinking of calling it Alan the Allosaurus.

And people are showing up to take pictures of the dinosaur, too.



Some people aren't surprised that the dinosaur is where it is, either:

And some are just confused:

Let people enjoy things. Giant things, like the massive Pokemon cushion a guy (drunkenly) bought himself, are the best things in the world!

It looks like this dinosaur is going to keep the neighbors and their children smiling for some time to come.

Alison Hammond reacted to seeing Prince Harry the same way many people probably would—she just happened to do it on live television. In a matter of seconds, the live segment transformed into a decidedly Prince Charming encounter between the presenter and the royal.

Hammond was in her hometown of Birmingham on Friday to speak with the Duke of Sussex about the Invictus Games, which will arrive in the city next year. The interview, however, briefly became secondary the moment she spotted Prince Harry approaching from behind.

We don't all like the same things, and that's just an understandable part of being different people with different passions. But we stray into a little bit of a gray area when two people are married and don't share common interests.

Enter Victoria Beckham, who married highly-awarded soccer star David Beckham, despite having no love for soccer.

Trump Tries To Brag About His Approval Ratings, Gets Instantly Fact-Checked By Critics

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has boasted several times in rallies and to the press about being given multiple cognitive tests, seemingly mistaking them for IQ tests.

It appears no one in his inner circle is willing to tell him why even medical staff loyal to him—who routinely exaggerate his vital statistics and overall health—repeatedly questioned his mental acuity. But their reasons seem clear when Trump says or posts deluded nonsense regularly.
