MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

He/She/It turned 35 yesterday.


It is the furthest, and getting furtherer, man-made object from the Sun.  Apparently it is due to cross into interstellar space sometime in 2025, and if it's still functioning (i.e. doesn't run out of power) we'll get some interstellar science.  Wouldn't that be a hoot?

It would be pretty cool. We should send a few out into interstellar space anyway for that specific purpose. Shoot it out the south end of the solar system so that it leaves quicker (solar system is travelling north at a pace of about one au per 8 days).

Captain "kill em all" Janeway is absolutely the worst Starfleet officer in all of history.  Voyager is doomed.
