I lived in the city for fifteen years and didn't encounter the hostility paper ghost is talking about either. Strange.

*shrug* I don't let strangers touch me, or even attempt to touch me.

And Barcelona. For a while it was the pickpocket capital of Europe. When you move here, as I have, everyone gets robbed once or twice in the first year then never again. I've had almost all of these scams tried on me, but now I nod to the thieves on the metro to let them know not to bother.

I guarantee you any amount of money you care to name ellenjane has not read the Handmaid's tale.

Reminds me of that film 'Spanking the Monkey'.

Or evidence that death star is fully operational?

Phasers, photon torpedoes, saucer separation, transporters, deflector dishes, inertial dampeners, shields that stand up to warp core breaches with rotatable frequencies. *Big inhale here* Nanites, cloaking technology, replicators, looooong range sensors, Data and Jeordie monitoring the beast and Jean Luc at the helm.…

I'm guessing his name was Bugs, sounds like something he'd pull.

With a visual albedo of 0.47 Saturn should be shining much more brightly than it is in these illustrations.

All very interesting but I still want to know what happens when the USS Enterprise and the cube drop out of warp.

Barcelona has it's version.

Shouldn't "They Live" be on this list somewhere?
