Hey, all. I'm new, and it's great to find a community filled with dedicated Jurassic Park fans.
This has been poking at my mind for a while now:
Crichton had apparantly named the two primary islands (Nublar and Sorna) for his own reasons. The first, Isla Nublar (which means roughly "Cloudy Island"), has a meaning that is pretty easy to discern. My question however is of why he named the second island Isla Sorna (which, if my Spanish dictionary is telling the truth, means roughly "Sarcasm Island").
Can anyone figure out the meaning behind this? Perhaps it is an indirect reference to Ian Malcolm? /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
