Legends my a*s:

Dinosaurs, dragons and Darwin were discussed Friday during the contract termination hearing of suspended Mount Vernon Middle School science teacher John Freshwater.
David Millstone, attorney for the Mount Vernon school board, introduced several handouts allegedly distributed by Freshwater in class. Former Freshwater students Simon Souhrada and Kate Button testified the dinosaur handout implied that humans and dinosaurs probably coexisted, contradicting the generally accepted theory of evolution. Button said Freshwater told her class there was new evidence that dinosaurs probably were around when people were, because of the global incidence of legends of dragons.
Both students also alleged Freshwater indirectly made it clear to students that he disagreed with Darwin’s theory of evolution, and exposed creationism or intelligent design as an equally valid theory.
Souhrada said Freshwater was a very good teacher with just a few exceptions, and those exceptions concerned the evolution chapter. He said Freshwater seemed to be trying to discredit evolution and that it seemed like he didn’t really want to teach it, although it was in the textbook.
Souhrada said what is called the Tesla coil was used when he was in Freshwater’s class. He said the tool was used to show the properties of different gases, and that Freshwater also used it to “draw” on students who volunteered. Souhrada said he was one of those volunteers, and Freshwater drew the shape of a cross on his arm.

Okay
Nope, they are separated by millions of years.
The ol' Tesla Coil trick! More: http://www.teslasociety.com/lightning.htm I don't quite grasp this part of the article. I'll reread it.
2)Dinosaurs are still around, judging by the frequent reports of the morbid state of the dinosaur media here on FR.
About 64 to 65 million years, depending on your definition of "human".
