...This immediately prompted a copyright lawsuit by Crichton's lawyers for
infringement on the book and the 3 movies it inspired. Aztech has been
reported as thinking of changing the name of the part in order to head off
the lawsuit.

In other news, The TRex at the park has broken out and was last seen
playing piano at the Starlight lounge. Universal Pictures is reported to
be trying to work out a deal with the hungry dino where the animal will
play piano on a world tour in exchange for large quantities of SPAM and
Dinty Moore Stew.
