Cool: September 2007 Archives
Brad Paisley has a video for a song called Online, which includes a William Shatner cameo, and frequent insults to Star Trek fans. Which, I think, is fair. [Via Deanna Hoak]

Ever wondered how big an Executor Class Star Destroyer was compared to Babylon 5? Or the Battlestar Galactica? Or Deep Space Nine? Or the Enterprise? Or a Borg cube? Or Moya from Farscape? Or the spacestation in 2001? Or a monthership from V?
