Dodgy interpretations of cave art aside, we technically still live with dinosaurs - such as the Tuatara, or the Coelacanth for instance.

Neither of those are dinosaurs. Don't ever say stuff like that in front of a dinosaurologist if you don't want to a grown scientist weep.

I do wonder though if my deliberate conflation wasn't the same one as was made by certain fundies to justify their particular brand of nonsense.

As to making scientists weep... Depends on the scientist :-P
