The Text:

This week’s text is The Park, spanning from pages 244 – 251.

Synopsis:

Muldoon leads the cleanup crew in the park to repair the fences, meanwhile Harding and Hammond are out wrangling the dinosaurs which have escaped and returning them to their paddocks. They all return to Control where Muldoon argues with Hammond about not having any weapons strong enough to tackle the Big Rex. As their argument spills into the hallway, John Arnold explains to Donald Gennaro all the reasons why he believes Ian Malcolm and his chaos theory are wrong, and therefore, Jurassic Park is perfectly safe. 

Discussions surround:

Timeline, Believe Me! I Know!, Contrivances of Plot, Chaos Theory, Hubris, and Island Layout. 

Corrections:

I said that in the Life Of Pi, the special effects company was bankrupted because of the time and money spent creating the lion, when of course, in reality they went bankrupt because they were rendering the special effects for a tiger. My mistake! 

Side effects: 

May cause your nostrils to stick together, and shuttle-bus operators to wait until your car starts before they leave.
