When you were a kid, you probably played doctor and pretended to patch up a few broken bones and then ran off to go drink some Sunny D. But where were your detailed medical records? Did you even schedule follow-up appointments?

Michael M from Scotland, who was a kid at the time of the 1993 release of Jurassic Park, wasn't messing around. He uploaded a dossier to Imgur that he created in 1994 pretending he worked at In-Gen, the genetic engineering startup behind the theme park. It's extremely thorough, boasting more attention to detail than most people -- even Steven Spielberg -- has ever paid to anything.

"The dossier consists of the impossibly dull minutiae of park admin leading up to events of the movie," Michael wrote. "I essentially gave myself a boring office job in my spare time outside of school."

More accurately, he gave himself at least ten boring office jobs in his spare time. He drew diagrams of dino teeth, mapped out the park grounds and building plans, created real-balloon scale model of a hot air balloon and wrote out imaginary internal memos that he roped his real-life classmates into. He admits that he may have taken some liberties sequencing dinosaur DNA, but that's understandable.

You can view the whole thing in it's full glory -- about 50 pages -- on Michael's Imgur account.
