- An Australian billionaire is planing to construct his own 'Jurassic Park'-style attraction featuring real dinosaurs, according to reports
Eccentric businessman Clive Palmer is said to be in talks with biologist Keith Campbell and embryologist Ian Wilmut, the scientists who made the Dolly The Sheep, the first successfully cloned mammal.
Jurassic Park... things ended badly
Palmer, who has made his billions in mining and mineralogy, then wants to introduce a cloned dinosaur to his own luxury resort on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
The mayor of the Sunshine Coast Mark Jamieson has said that Palmer is 'very serious' about the plans, and is reportedly set to hold a press conference later today.
It's not the first time that the billionaire has planned to turn cinema into reality.
Earlier this year, he unveiled plans to make the 'Titanic II', a vast liner he is having built in China.
It is scheduled for completion in 2016.
“It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic but of course it will have state-of-the-art 21st-century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems," he said. http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/billionaire-plans--real-jurassic-park-.html |

| There's nothing like a cautionary tale to make some rich individual or government decide, 'yeah, we can do that!' (Despite chaos theorist Malcolm saying "just because we can do something, doesn't mean we should."
Just ignore Einstien's definition of insanity: doing the same thing the same way, over and over, and expecting different results each time.
Did Palmer ever read Brave New World? Or 1984? Futility? Or Jurassic Park, even?
I'm sure it will all be fine. |

Or maybe just relocate the club to Australia. |
