Flintstones
Although I agree the popular culture section could get out of control easily, I do think that aside from Gertie, the modern-day public are mostly familiar with term brontosaurus from its use in The Flintstones, as it is used almost universally in that franchise to refer to dino species. (Dino is one of the exceptions, being identified as a snorkasaurus, which if nothing else saves some awkward conversations with children over why, if Dino is a brontosaurus, why Fred often eats brontosaurus burgers!) 23skidoo (talk) 20:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Source of Postal Bulletin quote?
I got curious about the "Although now recognized by the scientific community as Apatosaurus..." quote attributed to Postal Bulletin 21744, so I dug up a copy. I believe the citation is in error; the only mention of the dinosaur stamps is a short mention at the end of "National Stamp Collecting Month – Update" on page 5. I suspect the quote is real, but from a different document. RoySmith (talk) 22:14, 4 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Turns out, everybody just got the PB number wrong. It's really 21742.  Also discovered there's a complete archive of these available on-line at http://www.uspostalbulletins.com/.
