Slow to Half Impulse

Even people who aren't Star Trek fans have possibly seen the famous image of the "giant space amoeba" from the classic series episode "The Immunity Syndrome."

It turns out that this wasn't one of those silly 1960s notions that looks ridiculous in re-runs. Well... okay, maybe it does look a little silly. But it's basically true, according to some astronomers.

I am still wondering how I missed the Eugenics Wars last decade, though.

Newsflash: The Hubble telescope has discovered a giant human hand floating in space waiting to grab any passing spaceship. Be warned!

Have they found Abraham Lincoln floating out there yet? Or a giant baseball bat that eats planets?

(Where's that damn Planet Killer card?!)
