USS Enterprise Finally Flies

apetime writes "Found on Slashdot Japan: Model builder Kaname of Kumamoto, Japan has built a flying radio controlled model of the original Star Trek's USS Enterprise. (Scroll to the bottom of the page for a video. Or go here for an mpeg, and here for a WMV.) The ship measures from 75 cm, and only weighs 16 grams. It's a wobbly flight, but makes you think what else in Star Trek might work if it were tried."

    What is with that? Have we got regional news for nerds or something? And here I was thinking Nerdville was a global suburb.

  5. Batman touched my junk liberally. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Batman touched my junk liberally. he strapped me in to his batmobile and he couldnt keep his offensive hands off of me. he was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told batman the city would not approve of a millionaire touching an underage kid for free.

    Can you believe it? Batman did all this. He picked me off the street, strapped my arms and legs down in the batmobile's passenger seat, and just wouldn't stop fondling my cock'n'balls.

    They definately were red flag touches. the goddamn referee he had in the back seat kept on raising up this red flag every time he touched my junk but did batman care? NO WAY! He just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed. I pleaded with Mr. Wayne but to no avail. I told him the city would not approve of such a wealthy man touching an underage kid like me (at the time I was 13) without at least compensating me for the trauma and the use of my body as his own personal plaything.

    This got to him, worrying about his image. He continued to fondle me, all the while ignoring the referee's red flags. Then he drove the batmobile to my house and *ejected the seat I was in*! It was amazing. But surprisingly, after I woke up the next morning, my bank account had $150k in it! Can you believe it?

  6. More about Fleshlights by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm pretty interested in the Fleshlight.

    I actually tried to buy one from their site, but I got an e-mail from them indicating that my order was an "offline" order, as if I was supposed to mail in a check or money order. In reality I had filled out all my credit card info and submitted it. Of course, I was using my preferred browser (Firefox) at the time, so I'm guessing their e-commerce pages choked on it.

    Naturally, I have no intention of completing the purchase since I trust them about as far as I can kick a cinderblock. But I still wonder what the fleshlight is really like...
