$1.5 Billion Star Trek Theme Park Coming To Jordan
MikeChino writes "King Abdullah of Jordan (who was once an extra in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager) has given the green light to a $1.5 billion Star Trek theme park that will boldly take Jordan where no Gulf state has gone before. While the theme park will not be powered by dilithium crystals, it will utilize green technology in order to lower its carbon footprint — all of its electricity will be generated by renewable sources." Just a few weeks ago Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Ahyan carved his name in the desert so it could be seen from space. It looks like Sci-fi has finally made it to the Middle East. I can't wait for them to discover Firefly.

Recently I saw some Christians burning a Quaran in effigy. And another Christian, who like any given Muslim terrorist, clearly represents every other person on the planet who claims to follow a religion of the same name, went on a killing spree in Norway a just a few weeks ago. That's why I'm always watching the Christians in my office nowadays to make sure they don't bring in any assault rifles. When I see them praying near government buildings and youth camps it creeps me the fuck out.
