    I will wholeheartedly give the second amendment blowjobs every morning if they sell the bullet shooting, decapitating version of this for an affordable price.

    Why does it have a U.S. flag? The ship was made in Ireland, and set sail from England.

    @srw: Interesting point about the flag. But then why did it have a mast?

    Why did a ship with an engine have sails?

    @Freddie DeBoer:
    Why does a ship with sails often have an engine?


    @Freddie DeBoer:
    Ah, that is a different matter altogether. Note that the flag is hoisted on the foremast, and that the smokestacks are all linked to each other and the two masts by a network of stays (or "cables" for all you landlubbers). My guess is that the stacks were not self-supporting, and since tying them together like that would leave the two outer stacks only supported in one direction, they had to add the masts in there to give bidirectional support to all four stacks. Does it make sense now?


    Other uses for the masts would be that little white box on the foremast, which I'm pretty sure is a crowsnest used to (unsuccessfully) watch for navigation hazzards, and they probably had a radio antenna strung up on one or both masts to get greater range.

    @Kaiser-Machead: And how did they fit an air lock, storage area, and 10'x15' control room into a 20 foot boat? Why didn't their watches break when they did the stupid smack and thumb move?


    But my biggest question? Why did the glasses shake, and not the boobies? Why!!

    This prop replica would go good with this one and this one too.


    It would be like having this, only no assembly required...

    Ummm...don't mean to nit-pick, but why does the tri-corder here have the medical bed diagnostic screen?

    @smegz: Because it's a medical, and not a science Tricorder. That's also why the hand scanner is pictured next to it..

    Oh yeah, and Nimoy on SNL was hilarious. I completely stumbled upon it by mistake, flipping channels.

    I have nothing against the new Trek but I really dig the props from the original series. They had a simple yet functional style and not all shiny and chrome-plated..
