Norwegian artist and activist Markus Moestue is the mastermind behind this hilarious raptor tricycle. The dino-on-wheels is designed so that the legs look as if they're galloping on the ground as it moves. The dinosaur body is constructed of carved styrofoam coated with epoxy glue and fiberglass.
While the trike is bound to bring smiles to many faces, Moestrue created it for a more serious purpose. He explained in an interview,
[The trike was built] "for a trip across the bible belt in Norway. It was a protest against the dogmatic religious education of children, and the idea originated from the theme-parks of creationists that teach children that humans and dinosaurs used to live together."

It's been a wonderful way to kickstart my brain, shake loose ideas, and force myself to edit edit edit.
They offer inspirational pictures from Flickr you can use to inspire a ficlet. You can prequel or sequel someone else's story - or tell a longer story via a
series of ficlets. Best of all, the community is one of the best I've come across for honest feedback.
Ficlet's got me started on my way to writing a book (based on a picture there that turned into a series of ficlets) and well, it's just another awesome site :)
