If you've recently seen 'Jurassic World', you can't help but wonder what would happen if dinosaurs roamed the streets...

1) Dinosaurs of Instagram would be launched, accompanied by pictures of the beasts pulling faces in cute getups. Cue Grumpy Stegosaurus.

2) Flash-the-cash boxer Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather would buy a top-of-the-range Tyrannosaurus Rex and keep it on his property.

3) Dinosaur skin boots, bags and jackets would become all the rage (and fakes would flood in from China).

4) Every so often a dinosaur would escape from its enclosure at the park and run amok on the streets and have to be shot with a tranquiliser dart from some guy in a helicopter.

5) Investigative journalists and documentary makers would go after those involved in canned dinosaur hunting.

6) The avian Archaeopteryx would be trained for use in crime fighting and by the US Army as drones.

7) Similarly, long-necked dinosaurs like the Diplodocus and the Brachiosaurus would be used to wash windows on high rise buildings and trained to pick fruit from tall trees.

8) An 11-second YouTube clip of a sneezing baby T-Rex would break the internet.

 

 

9) Dinosaur biltong.

10) Curio shops would stock painted dinosaur eggs.

11) Giant omelettes (made with Woolworths free-range dinosaur eggs).

12) It will be claimed that the powdered horn of the Triceratops can increase a woman’s bust size, leading to illegal trade and bumper stickers saying ‘STOP THE TRICERATOPS FROM GOING TITS UP’.

13) X-treme Ornithomimid aka 'Ostrich Dinosaur' racing…

 

 

14) Some idiot in a leather hat and his own reality show would open a farm where he did demonstrations that included wrestling a baby T-Rex and perilously placing his head between its jaws and eventually he’d get his head bitten off and it would be front page news all over the world.

15) You could very easily be crapped on from a great height.
