    Sorry you crazy Japanese, I think Major Morgan got there first. I had one as a kid and it was fab..but it drove my parents crazy!! Heres UK's own James May in concert with Major Morgan doing a solo in An die Freude. Kicks in about 1.17. Sounds awfull and great all at the same time!!

    One of those little things might be kind of cute, but I just closed my eyes for a sec and in popped a vision of a dozen 3rd graders with 'em.

    On my doorstep.

    Christmas eve.

    Playing Rudolf the RNRD.

    (With the "squee-squee" sound from the Psycho shower scene in the background.)

    Pinch me.

    @Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: Yeah, that's my take on it too, it's an eight note. Cute!

    But a theremin it's not, since you have to touch it to make it work. A theremin is the only instrument that _stops_ working if you touch it (because you ground the antenna).

    Ah, Japan. Weirdness abounds.

    Minus the Muppet-y part (which you have to move yourself) and sperm tail, it might sell. It at least should have different colors.

    My favourite is the dialogue replacement clips that DayJobOrchestra does. Some of it's so-so, but occasionally you will probably fall out of your chair laughing.






    You can see a lot of their other Trek videos (and some other strange but funny ones) on their profile.

    First one points out the problems I had with the movie. I had to bite my tongue because I wanted to yell out, "STEADY THE CAMERA!" at the screen. Good God, I hate that style of directing. The problem is not as noticeable when the movie is a small indie flick. However, when it's supposed to be an epic, larger than life sci-fi extravaganza, it's glaring. If the unsteady hand cam is bad on a regular movie screen, how is it on an IMAX screen?

    @Shell_Krackerश्रमण: No, the reverse polaron shift would just cause a high phase tachyon disruption. It would ionize the Earth's atmosphere and cause a localized neutron imbalance.


    I think we all know what that would happen then.

    @OW-Holmes:R.O.A.C.H reject: The difference between your technobabble, and Trek's, is that most of Trek's was at least based in science - yours is just random words strung together.
