    1000 bucks aye?

    heh, this reminds me of the second grade, where every class except mine got to make a space ship out of a refrigerator box. so after some poking around at the end of 'space month' or whatever, i got to take one of them home. i had it out in the yard until the rain made it fall apart. #startrek

    @Elizabeth Weinbloom: I'm not seeing any hydraulics, so my guess is that it's essentially a supped up video game.

    Makes me wish the STE would hurry up and re-open. I need my shuttlecraft fix, damn it! #startrek

    @Malthian: Oh, it closed. I was there... it was sad, and the "retirement" ceremony for the "time station" was actually very well done. But there's also been a lot of talk of it re-opening in 2010, in the now-defunct Neonopolis building.
    The mayor was pretty vocal about it, which surprised the hell out of me.

    There's not been any real news on it in ages - but I'm not quite ready to give up that dream just yet. #startrek

    This shuttle would end up to be the wrong answer to the question "What kind of car do you drive?"

    Other than at a SF convention.

    That looks sweet! hope their local council doesn't paint over it any time soon. Why is it the governmaent never seems to be able to tell the difference between art and vandalism?

    This stuff always makes me smile. A good bit of Graffiti always brightens up the suburbs. I really liked that Dark Crystal one that you featured a while back.

    I don't know what that sign at the top of the page is from, but ZZ is male and ZW is female. Unless they're trying to get some hot human on alien action going then um... whoops?

    @Luziphir: Just to clarify, ZZ/ZW is the actual sex determination system in birds and some insects so it's not like they just came up with some random letters, they were going for something based on reality and either fucked it up or did it intentionally to avoid confusing morons who failed high school biology. Either way that's kind of annoying >:(

    A slight correction, even though I really hate to sound like some sort of hyper-offended fanboy, but the brig toilet was seen in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, not The Undiscovered Country.

    I feel so dirty now.

    @Zapp Brannigan's Girdle: I noticed the brig toilet in ST V too. It was pretty conventional. It looks like what they use in a jail or prison today. My friends and I used to joke about the toilets on Star Trek. A ship the size of the Enterprise would have to have a LOT of toilets. Come to think of it, I don't think I saw a toilet in any episodes of the original series.

    @Shadowcat24: As limited as the budget was in the original series, they probably couldn't even afford a cardboard toilet.

    Wonder where's the bathroom on the TARDIS, if it even has one! Though it has to since it has all those rooms we haven't seen in the new series...except the wardrobe room.

    What about Spaceballs? The toilets may not have been futuristic, but the video conference screens above them were pretty awesome... though it would be hard to conference with them while blasting a dookie.

    The Lexx licking toilet would kind of creep me out. Okay, replace kind of with totally.

    Starbuck staring/glaring at me while she pees is disturbing mostly because I prefer not to make eye contact while pissing.
