Notorious Australian business man (and potentially crazed mad scientist) Clive Palmer is said to be attempting to develop a real-life Jurassic Park -- like, with actual dinosaurs.
According to the report from Business Insider (via Sunshine Coast Daily), the controversial and eccentric billionaire has been in serious discussions with the people who successfully cloned Dolly the sheep to work the same magic from dinosaur DNA. Palmer's endgame, naturally, is to let this scaly abomination roam free in a Jurassic Park-type sanctuary at his Palmer Resort in Coolum.
This isn't Palmer's only outlandish project currently in the works. He's also planning to build a 21st century replica of the Titanic. Whether these wild escapades will ever see the light of day remains to be seen, but in any case you've got to admire the man's sense of scope.
So far, Palmer has refused to comment on the rumors of his Hammond-esque aspirations, but if I were you I would definitely stay tuned.

There's no stoppin' what can't be stopped, no killin' what can't be killed. You can't see the eyes of the demon, until him come callin'...
