As you may have heard, Doctor John Parker Hammond was the CEO and creator of Jurassic Park. He founded the company InGen and the Hammond Foundation.
*John Parker Hammond is a flamboyant venture capitalist from Scotland, building his fortune in Petticoat Lane, England. He also held parks in Kenya, Costa Rica, and other tropical locations.
…Hammond is affable and kind and is genuinely concerned about the well-being of his grandchildren and the other visitors and workers at the park. He also cares about his dinosaurs…*
While some people believe that the movie Jurassic Park was simply fictional entertainment, I like to think of it as documentary that somehow managed to escape notice by the New World Order censorship of the UN and scrutiny of the 501st Legion (aka Vader’s Fist).
Sir Richard Attenborough portrayal of John Hammond is every bit as serious as Boaty McBoatface and certainly deserves the same recognition. A little dingy, perhaps? Or a sonar buoy. :eek:
Yes, they’ll name their remotely-controlled submarine Boaty McBoatface. As pointed out on CNN here, people are immediately asking: Shouldn’t that be Subby McSubface???
This reminds me extremely very much of the naming of the new ISS dormitory module a few years ago, which Stephen Colbert lobbied his viewers to vote to name after him, and which got the majority vote. NASA scrubbed that, but instead named their new high-tech zero-G space exercise treadmill the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill (photo), or C.O.L.B.E.R.T (Wiki page).
In other news, here we have Trainy McTrainface. Note the comments: News reporters from all over are asking him for permission to run this pic.
It’s a 90th birthday present I guess. I think if an individual is sufficiently aged and venerated then it’s OK, and after all the ship’s naming ceremony isn’t likely until 2019, and he’s not getting any younger, so
