24. Uh, oh, you weren't going to use that, were you?
You might want to wash it.

I thought it was for something else.

6. And frankly... I think threads with "Expecting flames" should be....
Edited on Fri Jul-08-05 11:18 AM by Misunderestimator
immediately shot down with said non-existent mythological ray gun

(to be clear... not this one, of course :))

7. That's what seems to happen
They get shot with the said ray gun, and the ray's anti-gravitational properties prevent these threads from sinking.

11. I once went on a tour at the Johnson Space Center.....
And one of the tourists who was along asked the tour escort, "Where is the anti-gravity chamber located?"

:rofl: :eyes:

14. Actually, the tour escort said something snarky like....
"Well, if we had an anti-gravity chamber, we wouldn't need to build a space station now. Would we?"

20. Perhaps they were actual Enterprise crewmen....
....who were visiting from the future.

Ever think of that? :crazy:

22. Starfleet really let their standards slip then.
Besides, if they had been starfleet officers, they would have used period disguises. Making them look something like this:

15. Hey, I'm offended. I'm building one in my garage!
The Zorglons have been imprinting the plans in my head while I'm watching Golden Girls reruns. I should be finished before the summer TV schedule changes.

Boy, will your face be red when I turn it on!!!

25. Of course it's a myth...
Everyone knows that you have to use Anti-Gravity paint to block out the Gravity waves and achieve true anti-gravity in your anti-gravity craft. Of course, it's not water-based, so it's a real pain to clean up, but at least you don't have to worry about spilling the kerosene on the floor. However, the ceiling is a bit of a pain to clean up after.
