This is both revealing and saddening.

This is something I have had to think about often.
As it seems, I, although few of you shall acknowwledge it, am not going to be here forever.

And the sooner you, and I, both understand and recognize that, the more we can do with the little time we all have here..

I wish that I could promise 50 years of kitty crunching.
I realize that is not gonna happen.

What you need to know, and what I need to express, is that I shall go on with this search somehow even in the hours after I die.

Depending upon the date, temperature, and time.\
My rigs could go on running for months after my death and not miss a beat.

The kitties shall run out of water first.
Then kibbles.
They shall nibble and kiss me, trying to wake me.
I dunno.......
I always hope I wake from this nightmare.

One of the biggest has to be the one that held Vger in Star Trek - The Motion Picture.



Don't know how big V'Ger was supposed to be but I do recall one of the Enterprise crew saying that they were 17 kilometres inside.

[edit]

Found this which suggests that V'Ger was 78 kilometres long.

Mine has no limits or bounds, it exists through all time and space, and has no end.

Which one is the Millennium Falcon?

In the Firefly/Serenity section, where's the Firefly class?

In the Stargate section, where are the Earth ships (Daedalus and such)? For that matter, where are the jumpers? I know they're small, but the Tardis is smaller and he says that's there. (I didn't find it.)

The Executor class SSD from Star Wars, 19,000 meters(19 Kilometers) long, though I think V'Ger may have the record as there was a discussion in 2006 Here that said it was or should be 4,000 Kilometers long.

According to the storyline, that 'ship' that held V'Ger was actually a projection from V'Ger itself; an illusion of great size, as it were.

Who needs a Big Ship, when one has a fleet of millions of ships, all about 2 - 5 Kilometers in length each, but then you've probably not met, the Zentraedi Armada...

Small on the outside and vast on the inside. It's a wonder TL04 hasn't commented



It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues
