Sometimes I wonder what normal families talk about. I have a feeling it's not...

Well, I sent my dad a link to this comic. And his response...

The Star Trek vs Star Wars issue may have been a regular topic of dinner conversation. :p

[lestack]

gods help us if you guys get into one of those discussions in a pub. It'd be worse than a Red Sox/Yankees pub brawl :P

Uh, the Enterprise E is 600 some odd meters. And I don't know about the E, but according to the technical schematics for the D, its type X phasers were rated in the megawatt range--a single turbolaser from any Star Destroyer would blow through the E's shielding like it was nothing. To achieve the sort of energy requirements for navigating the Star Wars galaxy, something beyond antimatter is required: the so-called "hypermatter" reactors of most starships. Come on. Proton torpedoes are admittedly pretty stupid when their stated energy yield (1.5kt) is dwarfed by a laser cannon, much less turbolasers that can vaporize entire asteroids in a moment.

Yes, THIS is my response. :p

Seriously, if you analyze the language... IT'S THE SAME LANGUAGE. We started translating Yuuzhan Vong stuff using a Klingon dictionary and it WORKED.

I'm pretty sure I still have a Klingon dictionary somewhere. One of these days I'm going to find it and try this.

[yubsie]

Somewhere in the depths of the JC is a thread where I posted a lot of the translations. I think I have it bookmarked at home. ;p

I kind of love your family, Yubsie. :D But T-Rex knows many things about physics. He is also acquainted with the devil. :P

[yubsie]

I feel my family explains an awful lot about how I turned out. :p

[seryan]

I love your entire family right now. That is seriously awesome. Your father deserves some sort of award.

[yubsie]

My family is... unique. :p
