Yeah I found it really weird. Growing up in the 80's the Brontosaurus was one of the dinosaurs we all knew the name of (and not just because of Sludge). There was the Brontosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus, Pterodactyl, Stegosaurus and T-Rex. A few of us had also heard of the Allosaurus and Ankylosaurus but that first lot seemed to be the ones everyone knew.

Never even heard of an Apatosaurus until I was an adult so I assumed until a few years ago that the Brontosaurus name had been retired in the 90's or something. I wonder why the name was so well known and so prevalent throughout the 20th century when it had been retired in 1903?
