Spring Break on Mars

Several years ago, I had a dream about watching an episode of ST:TNG. The main characters were there, except for Picard. They weren't on the Enterprise; they were testing a new type of shuttle or Defiant-type ship. Notably, Geordie was in command; Riker was there as an observer. There was some kind of crisis, and everyone was crowded around the command chair, where Geordie was sitting. All they did was bicker. Riker would at times critique Geordie's decisions (not too kindly), and Geordie would shoot back a response, addressing Riker as "Captain." Eventually, Geordie was able to assert his position as the commander of the mission. I woke up before anything actually got resolved.

Cancer once gave heavyweight boxer George Foreman a sound thrashing... in Ping Pong.

That's pretty cool! I've done some experiments using 3D glasses as filters myself. Quite a difference when done outdoors as opposed to indoors.

And Cancer escaped by hitching a ride. He asked me to drop him off at the Pillars of Hercules.

The last time death tribble went on vacation, he accidentally sank Atlantis.

A few days ago, I looked at the Bay from my backyard and remembered the times I spent watching the Zeppelin flying above it. God, I miss those days! So I hope a bit of thread necromancy will help me feel a little better. Here's a show about airships. It's a few years old, but it has a lot of great footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik6bLSl0UyA
