Topic: Species, Starship, or Anomaly, type XII

Or so says SciPubTech. We all know it's really just type X.

Since I asked nearly all the questions in the last contest, and I just did the one before that, I'll take a break from these after this one, or at least limit myself to one or two questions per contest. Also, if nobody gets this (which is possible, but unlikely), TSN gets the next contest.

Anyway, you know the rules. 25 questions.

Actually, I can answer that question...yes, it's bigger than Person Man.

Didn't Triangle Man defeat Person Man?

My real question: Is it Starfleet or Fed controlled?

No to both questions. Well, except the one about Triangle Man defeating Person Man.

So it's larger than a human, smaller than Earth, and not controlled by Fed. I'd guess some sort of alien ship or installation. Or maybe a large life form. Or a small planet. OK, so it's not as narrow a field as I thought.

Is it at least partly artificial?

You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

Nope.

And, just to clear things up, this is the verse of "Particle Man" I am using to determine the size of Person Man:

quote:
Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

Well, according to his name "Person Man" is a person. That was the intent of my question, which I've told you. Are you saying that you're assuming Person Man could be anything that can fit in a garbage can? That could be pretty small.

I assume Person Man is as large as possible while still fitting comfortably within a garbage can, yes.

What size and type of garbage can? Small? Medium? Extra large? Cylindrical? Dented?

The kind I have. :P

Maybe someone should ask a different question concerning the size of this.

You spelled that wrong, but no, it isn't.
