OP We have ventured into an interesting synchronicity here, RhubarbCommando...since the root of Brontosaurus is "bronte," the Greek word for thunder, does that mean the Bronte Sisters are of Greek lineage? And what does that say for the temperament of these fine ladies? More importantly, what does it say about the flavor of those burgers? (By the way, it's curious that the "e" takes the umlaut in both the original Greek and the proper name...I'd have written it in, but I haven't figured out the Mark-up, yet.)
