That bad boy looks big enough to where you could strap a Honda 3.5KW generator to his back as a power source and send him on his way...........Just guessing.

They send it to the IT shop whenever it defaults to the Blue Screen Of Shrug (BSOS)

Why create your successor?

Did you mean to post that on one of the royal baby threads? :-)

It will disappear to Colorado or get a job as trackwalker. Maybe it will be able to override all communications channels for 3 hours at a time.

How many Chevy Volt batteries do you need to run that thing?

None. It is powered by a Zero Point Module which contains a very small singularity. Top Secret. All very hush-hush you know.

Cool. I need one of those. As a matter of fact, maybe a dozen.

Can these be scaled up to get starship engines the size of walnuts?

I thought it was a horrible movie, and terribly predictable.

Thanks Red Badger.

As an aside, “Under The Dome” is pretty much the stupidest show I’ve ever actually had on the screen. I’ve avoided stuff that looked even more stupid.

My wife and I like ‘Under the Dome’. It’s weird because it’s a Stephen King show.......

Prometheus was a MAJOR disappointment.
Everything about it!
I cannot believe that a sequel with that same horrid woman and android has been greenlighted.
At least her tool boy boyfriend won’t be back.
Maybe they will get a decent writer this time....
