The Natural History Museum had this thing in the dinosaur exhibit. It was an online scrapbook. You take a card, put stuff on your scrapbook, take it home, and have tons of fun. In my scrapbook their happens to be a quiz titled: "What Dinosaur Are You?" The answer I received was Cryolophosaurus.
Below is also the little snippet of information they provided:
Current research suggests that Cryolophosaurus was a medium-sized, social,carnivorous creature...according to your answers so are you!
Cryolophosaurus was the first meat-eating dinosaur fossil discovered in Antarctica . Although it's a frozen land nowadays, Antarctica wasn't always covered in ice. When dinosaurs were alive the world was mostly a lot warmer.
Antarctica itself was further north than it is today, which meant it was nearer the equator and so less icy-cold. All sorts of plants and animals flourished there.
On another note, Americans are weird. On the tube ride home yesterday I overheard some American tourists talking about London. They were very obsessed with "Mind the Gap" and made puns about it the whole ride. When the grandmother asked the 12 year old girl about how she would like to live here some day the girl responded with, "Yeah, I would. It's a lot like Florida." Florida is no where close to the UK in any way. Thankfully that is the only truly ridiculous incident I have witnessed with American tourists. But I can understand where the stigma comes from.
