Bargain boat for sale
I put in "Aircraft" on an Ebay search and this popped up.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2450501898

Kind of makes a yacht look twee... but I bet it's greedy on the gas.

Hey, could this be bought by, say, Finland, refitted and put into active service? A question of legality, and obsolety.

I think Ming should look into that. He could get the crew from Apolyton and we could power the catapult with the hot gas given off by the OT.

Does it come with experienced crew, or do I ave to get my buddies to help me?

Is it armed, and is the warp drive still at place? (Starfleet used to sell these as freighters, but had removed the warp drive. Kinda lame.)

Do you take solarian rubbles?

My avatar, a GENUINE UFO, is for sale. Its top speed is 186,000km/s (almost the speed of light!) and can go from 0-60,000km/s in only 4 seconds. It has comfortable seating (for the aliens at least) for 8 aliens, and for the environment-conscious consumer, it has a fuel economy of 25,000,000km/gallon (of blood). It has all the safety features--front airbags, side airbags, ass airbags, seatbelts, and a durable frame that gives it the government's highest crash test rating, which is not a number or a quick statement but rather in the form of a threat that if "I don't give this over to Area 51 they'll blow [my buttocks] clear to the moon."

The engine is a special Martian crystal that generates enough power to equal a thermonuclear weapon, but don't worry, the chance of deadly Earth-vaporizing explosion on ignition is only 1/100,000. And finally, all this can be yours for the starting auction price of $1,000,000.

* Dealer is not responsible for any damage to the universe that occurs when the driver approaches the speed of light.
* Dealer does not recommend human use of ass airbags.
* Dealer is not responsible for damages caused to the solar system when the engine-crystal explodes and unleashes the power of 100 thousand thousand suns onto the vehicle, its occupants, and anything in a 93 million mile area.
* A variety of extra options are available, including an entertainment system and a special safety concrete shield in which to put the engine-crystal. Contact your local dealer for more details.
