Velociraptor Attack Prevention Month is the creation of a web development company Velociraptor Aerospace Dynamics. The organization seeks to have a little fun and raise awareness of its products and services.
Of course, Velociraptors no longer exist, and they’ve been extinct for tens of millions of years. Still, it’s a fun event, and it is getting noticed. We heard about it on Saudi Aramco Radio in Saudi Arabia!
From the site, a little tongue, and cheek humor:
“Velociraptor attack is the third leading cause of death for men age 27-29. However, everyone must consider the implications of velociraptors: young and old, men, women, and transgendered persons.
The American Society for Velociraptor Attack Prevention is a bi-partisan group of professionals dedicated to the diffusion of knowledge concerning velociraptor attack prevention.
The velociraptor is a bipedal carnivore with a long, stiffened tail and is distinguished from other dromaeosaurids by its long and low skull and upturned snout. It bores a relatively large, sickle-shaped claw, typical of dromaeosaurid and troodontid dinosaurs. This enlarged claw, up to 67 millimeters (2.6 in) long around its outer edge, is a predatory device used to tear into the prey, delivering a fatal blow.
Velociraptors are often found on tropical islands, converted to millionaire amusement parks, but are commonly sighted in the Pacific Northwest. Of the essential facts you should know about velociraptors:
a) Velociraptors hunt in packs and are known to form an equilateral triangle around their prey.
b) Velociraptors have a top speed of 25 m/s on open terrain, ten m/s while wounded, and ten m/s in indoor laboratories.
c) Velociraptors can open doors but are slowed by them. They can open an initial door in approximately five minutes and take half that time for each subsequent door.
d) Velociraptors do not know fear.
