Kid’s 50-page “Jurassic Park” Dossier May be More Thorough than Actual Movie
WASHINGTON, June 13 (UPI) — A Jurassic Park fan of old relived the days of his youth when he uploaded hard proof of what he did with them on Imgur. In 1994, he compiled a 50-page hypothetical dossier from the perspective of his imagined role as an InGen computer programmer.
Known on the Internet as Michael M., the boy is now a man, and shared his collection of made-up documents — including (but not limited to) dinosaur dental records, promotional air balloon models and fake correspondence with other employees of the genetic engineering firm behind Jurassic Park — with the world.
Since its discovery by a wider Internet audience, the document as a whole is being described as being more detailed than anything even Steven Spielberg created for the film. Michael, on the other hand, sees humor in it all.
“Broadly, the dossier consists of impossibly dull minutiae of park admin leading up to the events of the movie,” Michael wrote on the original post dated 2 months ago. “I essentially gave myself a boring office job in my spare time outside of school.”
But it wasn’t just one office job he created for himself, it was several. Who programs computers, draws building plans and maps out dino DNA for a single position? Probably someone who makes $50,000 a day — a salary the young Michael set in his employee profile. He planned his next raise to occur in 2054.
Michael hopes his fictional work for InGen won’t go unnoticed, though. On Saturday, just before watching this year’s Jurassic World, he tweeted, “Wonder if it references some of InGen’s finest programmers/marketers/balloon modellers.”
