The Text:

This week’s text is When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth, spanning from pages 87 – 92.

The group enters the Visitor Center and Donald Gennaro presents the tasks set out for the consultants during their inspection of Hammond’s island. Malcolm’s mathematical principles reveal that they needn’t concern themselves with escaped dinosaurs.

Hammond and Malcolm have a tiff, just before Tim and Lex arrive for the tour. 

Discussions surround:

Costa Rican infant mortality rates, the Aswan Dam and Nile Delta, zoos, Contrivances of plot, Chaos Theory, Hubris, Crichton tropes, Hammond's god complex, Due Diligence, and Kids on Helicopters, and more!

Side effects: 

Cotton mouth and dry eyes. And the muchies...
