Radar imaging of a close flyby of an asteroid shows a very angular object.

Post by: Conrad on February 16, 2017, 04:45:51 AM: It may be my Kenmore refrigerator that recently turned into a brick! I was about ready to launch it into space myself after spending a total of about 10 hours on hold with Sears warranty services!!! >:(

Sears is replacing it with a brand new fridge on Saturday, so no worries about warm beer at least. :)

Have you seen the Borg queen? You may not like a 10, something is lost in the translation me thinks.

Well if you'll recall, Seven needed some work done as well:

to go from above to below required as much work or more than Heidi Montag has had, even by future syfy standards.

Still, Jeri Ryan had more to start with than Alice Krige.

wait..what?..weren't we talking about bricks? :o

Yep, and resistance is still futile! We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.

Post by: gPink on February 18, 2017, 05:39:34 AM: He ran for senator in the great state of Ill-inois in 2004 and 'exposed' himself to public scrutiny which started a chain of events, that while were embarrassing for his wife Jeri (Seven of Nine) and rightly trashed his political career, were ultimately disastrous for the country. The pain was finally lessened this past January.
