Are his teeth going to be on display?

Nice Teeth

Holy bajesus, check out the grimey, yellow choppers. You'd think with $10 mil to spend on a geek temple, he'd have some left over for some white strips.

he might not care about his image, but he should care about all the poor people that were tricked into looking at those scary champers. The nightmares will ensue tonight.

Holy Shit

Science fiction recommendation: Microsoft Security

And kids, in this corner of the museum,
we have a Microsoft Security Whitepaper.
This is 21st century science fiction at its finest!

On your way out, board the flying car on the left.

This oddly reminds me of

The Holy Land Experience, a theme park in Orlando, based off the bible that was designed to convert Jews to Christianity by belitting their entire existence to the role of having producing Christ, and thus having fulfilled their function.

Keeping up with the Gates's

When I read about this project, I thought, "He's establishing a perpetual Con!" Then I saw the irony, and I was Enlightened.

At least he's not trying to outdo L. Ron Hubbard.

San Francisco? Dude, Paul Allen is ugly, not gay...

Hey, don't blame Allen he left Microsoft years ago. His new company is called "Seattle" I think.

As long as the doors make the "swoosh" like the old Enterprise, they'll be all set.

Oh yeah, and a trash compacter like the one on the Death Star...

The thing to watch out for...

[teamhasnoi]

Make sure you don't accidentally step on a tile, go through a door, touch any buttons, or even look at anything that says, "I Agree".

We don't know what's going on in there... (cue spooky music)

Re:Shrine? Bah.

[Evil Adrian]

But what about the anal probes, damn you!! :-)

What the article failes to mention...

[Fjornir]

...is that Paul Allen, himself, is an alien. Check out the picture in the top-right hand of the corner of the article, then tell me I'm wrong.

futurama was right!

Remember the episode where Fry wants to watch Star Trek but he can't because it's been banned after it became the laregest religion ever and almost destryoed the world? If this thing gets made we are all soooooooo screwed. The battle between the old testament and the new testament will now be between Kirk vs. Picard, old Trek vs. new.
