Dino Bombs

If you remember how I’ve said that I generally come up with amazing ideas (here), then you can ignore this next sentence. I generally come up with amazing ideas. Like the last amazing idea, this one was triggered by a conversation with Eric.

We were discussing the concept of Jurassic Park and how ridiculous it was that the island workers weren’t better prepared to deal with a dinosaur disaster. They’re in the dinosaur management business, so their one task is to manage the dinosaur situation. Eric decided the island workers should have been provided with more weaponry. I suggested a tank. He upped the ante with missiles.

But then I had an epiphany. If the weapons were always on the dinosaurs, there would be less room for error. I had the solution – bomb backpacks. The dinosaurs would all be equipped with a backpack loaded with explosives.

And the workers would all have detonators. I haven’t worked out all the details – maybe they’d have one detonator that would explode the closest dinosaur and another that would set off every single backpack.

Eric came up with the perfect line for tour groups: “Don’t think that those dinosaurs are going to school. There aren’t books in those backpacks; they’re filled with explosives!”

And then the guide sets one off.  Or if the guide is lucky enough to be leading the last tour, he sets all of them off.
