From The Sound of Settled Science on smalldeadanimals.com, we time-and-place-warp back to Michael Crichton, of Jurassic Park fame, when he and friends apparently walloped some unsuspecting global warming alarmists with this little essay. Whenever I see Crichton's name mentioned, and it was because he died recently, I become alert. He borrowed my name and subspecialty profession without asking for one of his characters in one of his books. I forget which one. Now that I think about it and seeing as how he has cashed in his chips early, I guess it's OK. Requiescat in pace.

Wow, Ken. I never heard that story of the name and job purloining. As a huge ER fan, I was sorry to hear about Crichton's passing. I have to wonder if his cancer was the reason for this being the show's last season.
It's true. One of my classmates pointed it out to me. Crichton graduated in '69, four years after me.
