U.S.S. Enterprise analyzed. "For StarTrek [sic] fans we tested the USS Enterprise in our super-orbital expansion tube... We perform similar tests on other models investigating dissociation and ionisation processes which occur during atmospheric re-entry."

Oh wow, I'm just amazed and purely astonished that someone would waste their time doing this. And then that I would waste time reading about it. And then waste a little more time posting this lame comment about it.

Where do I go to get my time refund?

I don't know which is geekier. The website; the fact that somebody posted it onto metaFilter; or the fact that my first thought was .. "Well that's just stupid. They obviously didn't take into account the deflector dish."

I need to get out more.
