Hmm, an interesting read, uses science not just futuristic-ohsoawesome-technology, well maybe just a little but principles are well-defined. I would love to do any of the step, specially #3  Any thoughts?

you want to kill the earth? you monster have fun with that, actually wait no, go play with your antimatter and blow yourself up with it (before you reach the 2.5 trillion tons needed) |

Uh, SuperFreak...he said #3 - not the Third one. That would be the Pulverization by Blunt Instrument, not the Antimatter one. But monster nonetheless! |

Firing small super-fast objects at the planet... Wonder how fast a golf ball would have to go to be able to make a clean shot through the planet.... hehe  |

really (bloody) close to the speed of light, so through mass dilation it seems more heavy MOD by Delos: Merged your two posts together to reduce redundancy and spammage. Don't throw a broken graphics card at me! |

The golf ball doesn't have to be moving, you just have to throw the planet really hard at a stationary one. |

haha yeah. thats what i dont get, why in space movies, if they are going at massive speads, isnt a little particle of space dust rippping their ship into about a billion peices when they hit it? Wouldnt that be funny? Ship traveling and then suddenly shatters. Why? spacedust. |

Because our spaceships don't go anywhere near the speed of light. Unless you're talking about something like Star Trek. "Commander Data, Warp 8!" If we're going to bite and believe they're going beyond light speed, we shouldn't be worrying about the possibility of hitting spacedust. Interesting, though. From Picard's perspective, the Enterprise is stationary and the dust is moving very fast, making the dust massive. But from the dust's perspective, the dust is stationary and the Enterprise is moving very fast, making the Enterprise extra massive. Same sorta thing as the Twin paradox, I guess. |

Wow, Cervantes. You can be pretty dense sometimes. I'll tell you why the particles don't destroy the ship. And I'll explain it in five words: Quote: All power to forward shields!
I expected better from you!  |

Dear Mazer, You're dense too. If they diverted all power to forward shields, they wouldn't have power to go at warp eight, now would they? Sincerely, --Cervantes |

I'm glad you took your stupid pills. It makes my job easier. This is outer space. By Fig Newtons motion, you don't need to exert a force to continue moving at warp eight. Really, you don't think Picard would've though of that? *adjusts glasses* |

You're wrong again, Mazeri. Picard didn't think of it. Why else would they say things like, Quote: Data: The Borg are matching our velocity. We can maintain warp nine for another five minutes and twenty-three seconds, after which we will be forced to slow to impulse and recharge. Picard: I'm willing to entertain suggestions. |

I am prity shure that in star trek warp travial uses technogly that bends space time, not so much so that it makes a warm hole tho, and that they acuatly do have a device to stop things from smashing them to pices witch is called the mian deflector or somthing and it is the big round blue and red colored thing on the front of the ship's lower section. If i rember right it is need for warp travel and they can not even go in to warp with out it. Also a modfied verson is used by other races and futter star trek peoleops to stop the tidel forces from pwning them when going threw warmholes and other high greativy areas. (the borg use it for there warm hoel travel). Also they are not aucatly going the speed of light or faster realtive to the ship and space right beside them since they are bending space time. They are only going faster then light realtive to things out side of the warped space time. P.S. No i am not a star trek nerd, i just pay anation to sifi when i watch it 
Edit: Also to the above they need power to maintin the warp filed witch warps space time. Once out of the warp filed you are going the voicltiy that you where going IN the warp filed not the volcity realtive to noraml space when in the warp filed. For example if i walk threw a warm hole i do not come out of it at the speed of light*1000, i come out of it at the speed of i was walking in to it. This is what makes travel faster then the speed of light posiable, becues you are not aucatly going faster then light realtive to your self and our close area in in the bent space time. |

Yes, i dislike most of the star trek shows and i have never and will never go to a star trek convention or even think about cos-playing as some one from such a show. Rather i just find sifi physicks/technogly intresting. |

But, but! Jean Luc! I don't know about some of the other series, but I find most of the The Next Generation episodes to be very interesting, often on a philosophical or moral level. For example, yesterday I watched an episode in which a long extinct race encoded a program in DNA itself, scattering the parts of the program across the galaxy. Now, several races, including humans, are searching for these DNA pieces, and they get in each others way, because they all think the program will be something extremely powerful -- a weapon, perhaps. But the program was merely a recording of a representative of this ancient race addressing the four squabbling races, stating that part of this ancient race's DNA is in all of these new races, including humans. The purpose of the program is merely to convey a message of cooperation and harmony between these peoples. An interesting lesson, and more than a bit appropriate for humanity in the present. |

That is one of the better eps but noramly i find there "morals" to be overly balent and pushed so openly it almost feals like i am watching one of thos old goverment school videos saying sex is wrong and commuists will kill us all. Morals and social comentary are great in shows and sotrys but i perfure them to be at least partly deep and under the main sotry. This is mostly ture for the orgainl star trek witch was just bad in my option and a bit for next genreation. I like voyager and deep space 9 tho voyager dose seem a bit repeadtive. I hated the enterpires show since it broke all of star trek history unless you whont to assume it was all in the hoial deck that there where runing in the last eps and the peoleop who programed it where to lazy to fix plot holes. I mean right from the 1st ep they made errors. Behond enterpries, what i realy like is how they try to not screw up the sotry lines and keep everything posibale. |

Sex is wrong! Kill those Commies before they get us! I've really never understood the double standard with regards to sex. Sex is immoral, and yet people are encouraged to have kids (which requires having sex; sorry to ruin it for you people who thought it was a stork... the stork just drops off diapers), seems like a person could get mighty confused trying to have kids without having sex... |

The point is two people are only supposed to have sex if (A) they are married (B) they have sex for the sole purpose of having a child and (C) the woman gets no pleasure. At least, that's what I remember from somewhere. Could have been regarding something other than the Catholic perspective. |

I'm no theologian but I'm sure that, for Christianity at least, C) isn't a part of it. I don't know everything about Orthodoxy, but I do know that B) isn't necessary either. And while it's most likely frowned upon, personally I doubt you'll be excommunicated for A). To sum up: snoo snoo! |

Aucatly there are some presits and members of veriouses chirstions gorups that blive in c) (oddly they are all male). I have read a manual wiren by a preiest talking about what a women should do on there weding night witch details things like "do not move or show any emeotion", "try to push him off you", and many other great lines. I wish i kepted it. For some reason i get ALOT of relgoues spam here in thunder bay. Just today i got a flyer about a "freedome realy" oddly no where on it did it say anything about it be relgioues or what it was for intill they handed you the other fluyer for there church that says "DON'T BE A WIMP TRY SOMETHING 'ROCKIN' AWESOME" (sorry for the caps but that is directly what it says) "EXPERIENCE THE FREEDOM A POSITIVE NEW LIFE CAN BRIN!" (now in small font) "That is what you will find at Thunder bay United Pentecostal Church." They also go on to claim that there freedom can cure anything from subsitance addiction, to dpression and curetly uncureable disses and condtions. They also go on to say why your children should be in sunday school and the best part is one of there glogains is "Want something Real?". It's not so much that it is relgoues spam that gets me but that they metion nothing about it being a church on the event flyer and in the panflint it is only in small text that it is a church. To cornflake: i was going to responed that maybe they could clone peoleop or uses infertal furtaisation but apreantly they are agisted that too..... |

So, what were we talking about? Futurama. Because it is the only sci-fi-ish show ever to feature such a wonderful method of execution. |

I'm hoping this won't turn into a religious debate, but I have to say that I find this difficult to believe. Call Christians crazy if you must, but I'm sure even us crazies would doubt that's even possible. I mean, what are you supposed to do, knock your wife out first? |

Hey, no where did i say all christians blive it nor did i say that a majority in any way sport it. Simpley i stated that there existsed a faction that did and i have seen materal from them. Is it realy that hard to blive? We live in a world where some peoleop blive a UFO will come and take them to hevan if they kill them selves at the right time. |

man, I love star trek, I watch it every day almost I always goto my friends house and turn it on any chance I get, I watch enterprise, and next generation, I also watch andromeda, and stargate (I'm more of a stargate fan) my friends bug me for watching this stuff everyday, but I love it!!! I've acctually looked for startrek costumes on ebay, mostly just to bug my friends, I've always wondered what they'd say/do if I showed up at there house dressed in a star trek uniform, with white face paint (like data) but all the costumes seem expensive, I don't want to spend more than 20$ cause its not worth it that much. alright...you can think less of me now. |

Would it be unreasonable to make one? It may not be the best quality, but the costume doesn't seem *too* complex... I used to love Andromeda when it first started. Hercules in space!
Obligatory Futurama quote for Cornflake: Quote: Fry: That doesn't look like an 'L' at all! Unless you count lowercase."
Bender: You know we don't! *slaps Fry* |
