Apart form the one of Star Trek Dimension is there one which operates above Warp 9.6 where you input the Warp speed and distance and get an answer for the time it takes to travel that distance at that speed.

You know, I�m actually rather tired of this Darkstar bashing. So you think that he doesn�t reach up to your *high* level of intelligence, so what?
Leave it be!

Is there "one" what? I'd be happy to try and answer the question if I can, but I just don't know what it is.

Maybe the LSD is kicking in or something...

I assume he's looking for an automated table - enter the wf, get the speed in multiples of c. I thought I's seen one once...

Listen, Pynasov or however you pronounce your name, we're not bashing him. I mean, have you actually read what he wrote? It makes no sense! Is it a statement or a question? And it's funny. Darkie's posts are never boring.

It made perfect sense to me, but then again, I speak an alien language...

(BTW, Vogon Poet, *do* try to learn to pronounce Swedish correctly - "Pynasov" is a rather severe insult that could get you into a traditional duel-to-death with sharp icicles if you used it face-to-face.)

Yeah, I thought it made sense too, but then, I�m swedish and english isn�t my native tongue either.

Vogon: Yes, I do read posts, actually. And sure, sometimes the spelling is wrong, or words missing, but so what? If I get it, why nitpick?

Oh, and by the way, pronounce it however you like, I don�t care.

And don't underestimate finnish prejudice of swedish traditions and climate, however close they may be.

I have never seen anyone using ice as a weapon, we mostly have spears and leather-clad clubs, riding around on our polarbears.

Pynas - Penis? Sov - Slept? It sounds klingon or russian... Are we accused of resting on mattresses made out of male reproduction organs?

Oh my God! Suddenly everything is clear! Darkie isn't from Swindon, he's from SWEDEN!

And, Pineychops, I really would like to know how you pronounce it. I'm interested.

Nimmy baby: DO try to keep up. Surely it's "Sleeping Penis?" Which could be another way of saying "impotent," which in a country as sex-mad as Sweden (we Brits all think Sweden is sex mad - you know, Private video, sex shops on every street, saunas, birching. . .) would be a deadly insult. 8)

No, no, no, of course it means big f***ing penis ;-)

Seriously though, it IS klingon. So it is to be pronounced with as much gargling noice and spitting as possible. If possible, swing a knife wildly around you at the same time.

This is the best thread in years as far as my favorite kind of humor is concerned.

Keep up the good work. ;-)
