Speaking of searing, it's 89-feels-like-101 outside and right now the idea of cracking open a beer and turning to a random page of Jurassic Park sounds pretty great.

Best/worst movie adaptation would also be an entertaining discussion although we might have to start by saying Jurassic Park and Congo hold the respective titles.
