Sci-Fi Memorabilia To Ogle And / Or Buy

bluegreenone writes "While I was nerding it up and looking for some original Battlestar Galactica insiqnias on Google I came across an enormous auction of classic sci-fi props and costumes being held July 31. I'm a little surprised they are getting rid of some of this stuff. Highlights include a piece of the original Deathstar, Scotty's original uniform, and the Terminator's first jacket. How would you like to own Twiki from Buck Rogers, or even better one of Erin Gray's hot spandex pantsuits from the show? You can have your own Cylon, Commander Adama's uniform, or a Colonial Warrior helmet from the never-filmed second season of BG. There's E.T.'s head, Cyclop's visor from X-men, and even the alien hand switch from Total Recall. And who wouldn't want their own cute cuddly face-hugger from Aliens? There are a ton of items but be prepared, most prices start around $500 and go up to $40,000."

    How could it do the cooking and cleaning without fingers? I think its just the natural evolution of the female human being. You just don't want to think about what man is going to evolve into...

    Why the hell did this get modded up and not the parent? Does some predictable, "obligatory" quote really deserve the points more that the parent which actually played on a good quote to create a somewhat-funny joke?

    jeeze.
