Bad Idea #2:
"The strange, acid-burn spots are all that's left of Cooper. Can you discover the alien's weak spot, before it dissolves the entire crew?"


(Actually, it's not so bad... he's talking about MUD design, and SpaceTug would indeed make a lousy MUD. Though I do have a dream that one day, some network -- probably Fox -- will make an ongoing Saturday-morning cartoon where the whole crew of the Nostromo is a bunch of five-year-old kids, and the Alien is their feisty, accident-prone pet.)

Also, thanks to Google.com, I discovered tonight that I am not even close to being the only person who has used "SpaceTug" as a term for a tugboat in space. Once again, my ideas have been stolen by people with unfair, anti-competitive chronological advantages. The nerve!

Ahh, haven't babbled that much in days. :)
