A short summary of his achievements as told by wikipedia...
-harvard undergrad (prick)
-harvard med school (that goes double)
-apparently TIME thought Jurassic Park II was going to be a good movie
-once, as an experiment to test the objectivity of an asshole english professor, turned in a George Orwell essay as his own; the teacher gave him a B-
-married five times, divorced four
-published one story under 6 different titles (Jurassic Park I & II, The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Sphere, WestWorld)
-created TV's hit show ER (but only wrote 3 episodes)
-cowrote the best movie to have a flying cow sequence and use the word "rue" with his wife (Twister)
--he was once named to People's 50 most beautiful people (1992)
-in 'Next' he named a character named "Mick Crowley." The character is a Yale graduate and a D.C. based political columnist. "Crowley" was portrayed as a child molester with a small penis. This is a not-so-subtle slight of Michael Crowley, who is also a Yale graduate, and a senior editor of The New Republic, a left-leaning Washington D.C.-based political magazine. In March 2006, the real Crowley had written an article strongly critical of Crichton for his stance on global warming in State of Fear. The small penis thing is interesting; it has to do with libel protection.
-in December of 1994 'ER' was the number one TV show, 'Disclosure' was the number one paperback and the number one movie (by box office gross)
-a dinosaur has been named after him
-wikipedia page had some errors and I had to edit part of it
- I feel like a mega-nerd
