The Final Frontier
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008Trekkies can now rejoice! CBS has issued a licence to a funeral products company to help STAR TREK fans be beamed into the afterlife. To date Eternal Image has developed an urn that is ” reminiscent of the 24th century styling of the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet”. They will be available in mid 2008 and will cost $799 USD. (I’m not sure what the currency exchange for Federation dollars is.) The company has also designed a casket that was inspired by the “Photon Torpedo” from STAR TREK II: The Wrath of Khan. These will be available in late 2008. No word on cost yet. Looks like fans of the hit series can now go in peace!

The Death of Common Sense
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008Obituary for Mr. Common Sense
Author Unkown
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend,
Common Sense, who has been with us for years. No one
Knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were
Long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be rememembered
as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to
come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life
isn’t always fair; and maybe it was my fault.
