This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.
e.g.
Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?
Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

If you saw this dinosaur in Jurassic Park, you might be thinking of dilophosaurus
, which was indeed bipedal but lacked the Vaporeon-esque neck frill in real life. For reference- Jurassic Park
◊ versus real life
◊.

You might be thinking of Dilophosaurus, albeit only from in Jurassic Park.
Double ninja'd.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.
Oh my god, that's it!
...It didn't actually have those? I think my childhood is screaming and crying now.
In uffish thought
I know what you mean — I remember going to a museum when I was little where the T Rex was two stories high and roared. It was awesome. Then a few weeks ago I went to another museum, and it was pitifully small. I think I died a little inside.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Also, velociraptor, as badass as it is, was apparently only about a foot tall, and the archaeopteryx fossil I saw on the school trip to the Smithsonian was... I believe robin-sized.
I was sad, since both of those are big enough to ride without modification in Scribblenauts.

My thoughts exactly. Fuck this.
I still love dinosaurs, though, but I guess I'm gonna have to find a new favourite...

Well there are lizards that look as you described, I believe.

Aye, the frill-necked lizard.

Programming and surgery have a lot of things in common: Don't start removing colons until you know what you're doing.

How the fuck can I play SWF files?
Space Wizard
.swf is ShockWave Flash, so you open them in your browser and need Adobe Flash installed.

There are programs like Adobe Flash Player. What do you need to do?

My teacher emailed a swf file. He's trying out some program that lets him insert vocal notes or something into an essay, in order to tell us what we got wrong.
I'm failing to figure out how to get it to work.
That worked, thanks! :D

I was trying to come up with ways to elaborate on "Rapunzel is not herself" using Arson Murderand Jaywalking I was just wondering if this would do it.
"She seems depressed lately, her hair is a mess and she's wearing shoes. Really bad shoes."
I see the Awesomeness.
Does anyone know if you can nest iam files in inventor or some other way to move parts and constraints from one iam to another without redoing all of it, but keeping part mobility?
Fight smart, not fair.
Lock, how the flyin' fuck do your avatar be so huge?
Also, are silly threads no longer welcome anywhere on the TVT Forums?
Uniocular
Are there any articles or books on kicking addictions without removing the object of obsession entirely, as backwards as that may seem?
Also, that is indeed a large avatar.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."
Yeah, I don't understand Lock's avatar- also, the thing's not in his gallery.
Did something weird happen?

Does anyone know of a website wher eI can chat with a doctor about symptoms in the upper middle part of the stomach? I need for my aunt and I am worried about her.
"Thanos is a happy guy! Just look at the smile in his face!"
What's up with the "grave announcement"?

Echo Chamber. Part of the ARG, I'd assume.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."
It looks like an Echo Chamber ad campaign.

They're all email delivery systems. POP 3 is designed so that when the client receives from the server, the message now lives on the client and is deleted from the server (I have seen the option to leave it there, but this is counter to the basic design). I assume POP 4 is some kind of improvement upon this.
IMAP is designed so that the messages always live on the server, and the client just makes temporary copies for viewing.

If this
◊ is the dinosaur you are thinking of, then its name is Dilophosaurus
.
Note that the frills are actually fictional. There is no evidence this animal actually had frills of any sort.
