  Put everything down and get your passport: you're going on a trip to Canada. Why? Because dozens of animatronic dinosaurs are for sale and you need one. Why do you need an animatronic dinosaur, you may ask? Let me counter your question with another question: is there anything cooler than having your own life-size robotic dinosaur that moves and roars? I rest my case.

  British Columbia-based Able Auctions has a warehouse full of life-size animatronic dinosaurs that went up for sale on August 6. The dinosaurs supposedly belonged to a now bankrupt local company that toured the world doing dinosaur exhibits. All the dinosaurs function perfectly - and by that we mean the dinosaurs plug into controllers which can make them move their heads, arms and tails around and roar. Many of them rely on motion sensors, meaning you can have some fun with your neighbors when they stumble home drunk from the pub in the dark.

  The dinosaurs can be sold separately or as a group of huge misfits. Some of the smallest dinosaurs are being sold for as little as $250 Canadian (remember that small dinosaurs are still quite big). Apparently, there have been inquiries from all over the world, from restaurants wanting some edge to grandparents hoping to entertain their grandkids, and probably from quite a few dinosaur enthusiasts.

  Whoever you are and whatever your reason is for wanting an animatronic dinosaur, now is the time to fulfill your lifelong dream (that you may have only just discovered). Sure, it'll be expensive and take up quite a lot of room, but can you really put a price or size on awesomeness?
