**BREAKING: Florida Museum Shatters World Record with 468 People in Dinosaur Costumes, Chaos Ensues**
TAMPA, FL – In a spectacle that will go down in history as the most utterly absurd and fantastical event of the century, the Florida Museum of Natural History has gathered an astonishing 468 people, all clad in dinosaur costumes, setting a new Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of dino-clad individuals in one location.
The scene was nothing short of prehistoric pandemonium as the massive group of T-Rexes, Triceratops, Velociraptors, and Stegosauruses (okay, maybe not that many Stegosauruses, but still) took over the museum’s main hall, sending visitors and staff alike into a frenzy of excitement and mild terror.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Dr. Jane Smith, the museum’s director, who was seen hiding behind a pterodactyl costume, peeking out to confirm the chaos. “We’re thrilled to have set this record, and we’re already planning next year’s event, which will undoubtedly be even more epic and possibly involve a conga line of Diplodocuses.”
The event, which was months in the planning, required a team of highly trained professionals (okay, maybe not that trained, but they tried their best) to coordinate the logistics of getting so many people into dinosaur costumes and into one place. The result was a sea of scales, spikes, and spandex that stretched as far as the eye could see.
“I had to wear a size 5XL T-Rex onesie, and let me tell you, it was a real challenge,” said participant John Doe, who claimed to have eaten an entire pizza by himself in the costume. “But it was worth it to be part of this ridiculous, amazing experience.”
The event drew in crowds of onlookers, who gathered outside the museum to catch a glimpse of the spectacle. Some were dressed in their own dinosaur costumes, while others simply looked on in awe.
“I brought my kids to see the dinosaurs, and then I realized they were all just people in costumes,” said one amused parent. “But honestly, it was even more fun this way! Who needs realism when you can have 468 people in dinosaur onesies?”
The museum has announced plans to display a commemorative poster featuring all 468 participants, which will be available for purchase online for the low, low price of $50. A portion of the proceeds will go towards funding next year’s event, which promises to be even bigger and more outrageous.
In related news, the city’s mayor has announced plans to rename the city “Dino-Ville” in honor of the record-breaking event. When asked for comment, the mayor simply grinned and said, “Why not? It’s not every day you get to be part of something this utterly, completely, and totally absurd!”
