Hey there,

I always wondered if there exists an International Dinosaur Month/Week/Day. Some pages on the internet claim it is October.

October already has a few dino-related events:



Still, I am not happy with October. I mean, what does October have to do with dinosaurs? Or Earth Science for that matter. I think it is not right to pick just some random month to celebrate a topic.

So, I will propose November to be the International Dinosaur Month. Why?

First of all, it sounds good. Add two letters and you've got DINOvember :)

These dinosaur/prehistory events took place in November:
 * 24 November 1859:  (evolution -> prehistory -> dinosaurs was published.
 * November 1912: The first dinosaur novel, , was finished.
 * November 1990: published

These things are something for JP fans, but still noteble:
 * November 15, 2011: Jurassic Park: The Game released
 * November 17, 2014: MasraniGlobal website went online
 * November ?, 2014: JurassicWorld.com went online

Side note: there is already a fenomenon called Jurassic June. That is also nice. However, I try to avoid doing indoor geeky things during the summertime; and I advise everyone to do the same. It would be more appropriate to have a dinosaur month in the colder-wetter-darker half of the month. Ideal time to visit museums, play dino games, read dino books etc.

Tell me what you think of all this.
