I don't own any.
I like the science behind it.
And I think its cool.

I'm sorry
while I believe he doesn't own any Trek gear....I wouldn't put it past him to not have Star Wars gear...and I somehow envision him matching it up with the horsehead mask running around the shop trying to go PLAID!
No sw stuff either but I do like the movies.
I forgot about the horse head mask [laugh]
Where's my jet pack?
They promised us all jet packs about the same time they told us we were switching to the metric system in a few years.
I dislike the English system.
5280 feet in a mile indeed....
I buy the tape measures that have decimal feet on the tape.
The jet pack is in the trunk of the flying car.
Don't you remember?
I did some of my own calculations and it kind of works, however if we sit the spaceship on a treadmill that turns at the speed of light...

That's a terrible idea!
Didn't you see Event Horizon?!?

people can't drive well in two dimensions and you want to give them a third?

That's always been my arguement against them...

Well, it *would* be effective at weeding out the bad drivers.

I was asking about
My flying car, everybody else in on their own. ;D

Right through someone's roof...

With warp drive it's more like 5 dimensions. Imagine that in the carpark during school pick-up.
I want the one with Auto pilot.

Autopilot is a crutch... like ABS and automatic transmissions. [laugh]
since no one bit on my reference...here ya go...posted for those that haven't seen it...
Kevin Smith "The Flying Car" *short film* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsSCBxzlDbU#)
BTW, may not be safe for some due to language...there is the fair warning ahead of time...otherwise, it is pretty funny!
I didn't realize that the law of entropy would prevail over order because of no flying cars. I don't want to end up being like the road warrior guy whose family and dog were murdered but moto hooligans just because JFK is still dead.
More Star freak stuff or where's my Tricorder?
