We took Chad (6yrs) to the Space & Science Centre for his birthday. After seeing the IMAX Dolphins movie (which was good) we hit the K-Nex exhibit. They had several two meter long dinosaurs, a shark (a good three meters long), a dolphin, and a 17' (...) (24 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
