Another good story from the San Jose Mercury News "News of the Weird".
 
The Memphis (Tenn.) Zoo recently kicked off "Dinosaurs Live" - an exhibit
of computerized, mechanical replicas of the creatures that became extinct.
As of early September, according to zoo official Ann Ball, six people had
asked for refunds for the $2.50 admission price upon learning that the
exhibit did not feature real dinosaurs.
