What I really hated was in that cheesy earthquake miniseries "10.5" during the CHEESY inspirational music at the end they set up a 4-3 suspension, and then, it deceptively went straight to some minor harmony off the 2...which I found really cool sounding....but then that thing went right back up to the old tonic...which sounded WAY cheesier than the correct resolution of the sus originally would have....I was totally dissapointed.

The 15 living species of the genus Equisetum comprise the plants commonly known as horsetails. The genus name is derived from the Latin equis, meaning horse and seta, meaning bristle, in reference to the coarse black roots of Equisetum fluviatile which resemble a horse's tail ( Hauke, 1993 ). The horsetails range in size from the diminutive E. scripoides (stems averaging 12.9 cm tall and 0.5 - 1.0 mm diameter) (Hauke, 1963) to the giant horsetails, E. giganteum and E. myriochaetum, reaching heights of 8 or more meters (Hauke, 1963) and stem diameters of perhaps 4 cm (see "How large can giant horsetails become"). Equisetum species are vascular plants which reproduce sexually by means of spores which are borne on cones. Hence, together with the other spore-bearing vascular plants, the Lycophytes (club mosses), Psilophytes (whisk ferns) and Pterophytes (true ferns), Equisetum species are classified as pteridophytes. The genus Equisetum is the only remaining representative of the once abundant and diverse subdivision Sphenophytina. However, recent phylogenetic studies suggest that perhaps should be classified within the true ferns ( Pryer et al., 2001 ). Remarkably, Equisetum has a history stretching back to the Cretaceous and possibly as far back as the Triassic ( Hauke, 1978 ). As a result, Equisetum may perhaps be the oldest living genus of vascular plants ( Hauke, 1963 ).

Man (to Waitress): Morning!

Waitress (Fred, in a coconut bra and grass skirt): Morning!

Man: Well, what've you got?

Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with

Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don't want ANY spam!

Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?

Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!

Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

Okay, I need to vent regarding the new Doctor Who.

 

I caught an episode of this show last Friday, regarding a highway that was underground, and you had to travel for years in self contained car/rv/shuttle transports to get to the next exit. Of course, these evil type crab things (they had a name - a nemesis of Who's) were lurking at the bottom of the highway system. The above ground world had been completely devastated by a drug, or something like that. I made it about halfway through the episode before I was over saturated with stupidness, and the only bright spot for me was that there were felinoid beings featured in the episode. The acting (the actor doing Who had some serious over drama moments) was okay.

 

If anyone is a fan of the new show...I mean, was this episode just one of the lousy ones? Or are they all like that? Even my Dad thought the episode was silly, and he loves anything science fiction, so when he and I agree that something science fiction is silly...yeah, that's a moment to remember.

So did everybody live in the giant highway? Or did they just go for years on end for trips and then came back cause they felt like it, wasting so much time in general?

C'mon, Kansas. You're griping about a sci-fi series that defined "low budget". Think about it: Daleks are based off of salt and pepper shakers. Everything is (usually) based in England (it's cheaper that way). I'll admit, I haven't seen to many of the new episodes, but it keeps the tradition of the original Series alive, and, granted, David Tennant is certainly no Jon Pertwee or Tom Baker, but he does have his moments.

Daleks are based off of salt and pepper shakers.

 

In that case we need to get them together with Dr. McCoys "medical scanners".

Before they divorced Jeri Ryan's husband Jack Ryan ran for the Senate seat that Barack Obama eventually won. This means two things:

 

Jack Ryan could have eventually been President (although not the same Jack Ryan in the Tom Clancy books and played by Alek Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Afleck even though that character did eventually become President) and

 

Jeri Ryan could have become First Lady

 

:P

Ooooh, good nerd reference! Yes and they hurried to the NBC commisary to get ordinary salt shakers to stand in as futuristic salt shakers!

I just found out that one of the girls I work with, her father is in the Navy. From what I understand he is pretty high in rank. Anyway he was the Captain of a few different ships during his time and one of those ships was the Enterprise. How fun is that. I know someone who was actually the Captain of the USS Enterprise. Just thought that was kinda fun.

If it wasn't for an unscrupulous Ferengi, I would be the proud owner of an authentic costume from Voyager.

 

Has anyone checked out the Star Trek auction on Ebay?

 

I have seen that auction, and I am avoiding it. I have used EBay, and gotten quite a few items (Buy It Now, and one auction item that nobody else wanted, basically), but those auctions are a pain in the rear.

Was it a main characters costume, or a crewman/ensign's ?

[Greg Nirvana 0]

It was from a race of aliens who consider humans inferior.

 

Theres quite a lot of those. Let me narrow it down, what season is it from?

 

EDIT: is it borg? Cause if it's Borg, that's pretty cool.
