Instead of “sparing no expense” Hammond decides to populate his theme park with Jurassic mammals, including the impressive proto-beaver. A snippet of dialog:
John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked, nothing.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: But, John. But if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don’t nibble your bum. That beaver is dynamite!
In lieu of doing something original this week, we have decided to rip off Despair.com to introduce this week’s Carnival of Satire. Enjoy.

We missed telling you about the Bonfire of the Vanities, hosted yesterday at The Cigar Intelligencer. This is the carnival where people make fun of themselves, and the host helps.
For today, go check out the original, the Carnival of the Vanities, hosted by A Financial Revolution. And don’t miss the Tangled Bank. This carnival is chock full of science-y goodness, and is ably hosted by Kete Were; I enjoyed this humorous take on how scientitians celebrate V-day.
