Description
In defense of my title, I've met some fine people on blind dates. Yet there's always a fear of the unknown--a new adventure to be enjoyed--even if the guy shows up at a fine restaurant sporting orange spiked hair. (Yes, it happened to me.)
That said, this might make a fun birthday card for someone with a great sense of humor: Head and neck portions of a Triceratops horridus (a horned ceratopsian), a dinosaur skeleton on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston, Texas, USA. Dinosaurs are said to have first appeared during the Triassic period, 231.4 million years ago. This suborder, a horned ceratopsia, is said to have lived on earth from 158 to 66 million years ago, which would place it in the late Jurassic to late Cretaceous periods.

JRR, thank you so much for the nice homepage feature in Loving the Color Orange! He does look quite spooky and ideal for Halloween. Hadn't seen him from that perspective before.
