Dot to Dot, with 85 minutes skill devotion. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, we're in here. Today we're going to look at a skill, or is it a skill, called What Dinosaur Am I?

It was recommended in a recent Amazon newsletter and you just say, hey lady, what dinosaur am I? But I'm not sure what skill it opens, if any, or is it first party. Let's have a look. Alexa, what dinosaur am I?

Welcome to What Dinosaur Am I? Ever wondered what dinosaur you would be if you were born 247 million years ago? Well I'm here to help. I'll ask you a series of questions, and you just need to answer yes or no.

First question, are you a dinosaur that loves to eat meat? No. Okay, you must prefer leaves the vegetables. Do you walk on two legs by any chance?

No. Do you walk around on four legs like a rhino? Yes. That'll give you a nice low center of gravity.

Do you have a big club for a tail? Yes. You must be ankylosaurus, a bit like a leaf-eating armored tank. Wow.

Do you want to play the quiz again? Yes. Okay, first question, are you a dinosaur that loves to eat meat? Yes.

Meat eaters are dangerous, so I'll watch my step. Next question, do you walk on two legs? Yes. A bipedal dinosaur, excellent.

I wonder how big you are. Are you as long as a double-decker bus? Yes. Then you must be a T-Rex.

Yikes. I'll keep still, then you can't see me. Is that right? Do you want to play the quiz again?

Yes. Let's do one more. Okay, first question, are you a dinosaur that loves to eat meat? No.

Okay, you must prefer leaves and vegetables. Do you walk on two legs by any chance? Yes. Ah, so you're a biped.

Excellent. Are you very tall? Yes. Then you're an iguanodon.

Keep those pointy thumbs away from me. Ouch. Do you want to play the quiz again? No.

Okay, thanks for playing. Hmm. Cool. There wasn't a pescatarian option, that's what I would be, because I do eat fish.

There must be some dinosaurs whose main diet is fish. Maybe a pterodactyl or something? Don't know. Very cool.

Now, that was very specific, born 214, 7 million years ago, whatever it was, and it reminds me of a joke. A chap goes to Stonehenge, and he's talking to the guide there, and he asks the guide how old Stonehenge is, and the guide says, it's 5,003 years old. And the tourist says, wow, that's really exact. How do you know?

How can you be so precise? And the guide says, well, when I started work here three years ago, they told me it was 5,000 years old. Oh, dear. Still creaky, aren't I?

Sorry about that, guys. Can't be very pleasant to listen to. This is Robin signing off, and we'll speak again tomorrow. Feedback, comments, demos.
