The Brontosaurus is known as the Apatosaurus sir.

Tell you what Chuck.
You go right ahead and pick the Brachiosaurus as your combatant. Hell, you can even use the more renound Ultrasaurus. I'll go ahead and battle it out with Seismosaurus.

Oh... and you know what just hit me like an apostrophe? The fact that this thread is called "The best dinosaur was..." not "The dinosaur that could kick the living shit out of all the other dinosaurs was...". How quickly we've strayed from the real issue that the Seismosaurus is the best and coolest dinosaur, simply because of it's sheer size. And what do you know, it could kick the living shit out of any other dinosaur! Pliedes will of course argue that the Plesiosaur (what a dastardly pun) is the best dinosaur due to the fact that it's a big sea-dwelling dinosaur that is basically freaky-as-hell. While the Plesiosaur does kick a substantial amount of ass, it's only half the size of the Seismosaurus (again with the puns).

While I'm at it, here is a nice little tidbit for you to sink your brainteeth into. This chart shows just how small and young we are in the history of just this planet. See that little gray bar in the upper right hand corner, yeah, that's us.

What? That didn't do anything for you? Well how about this, here's the history of the universe condensed into a calendar Earth-year to show you how young we are in relation to the known universe.
