kirk the final discovery

William Shatner, whom played Captian James T Kirk on the original Star Trek series as well as the imfamous Denny Crane(Boston Legal)had a rendeveous with Nasa the other day to give praise for the a Space Station thingy called Discovery. Of course he chose the opening lines to the Star Trek show. You know the one about Space being the final Frontier
If you haven’t seen the u-tube clip of it yet then check out Bill Shatner's Wake Up Call to the Space Shuttle Discovery. Worth seeing if you are a fan I suppose.

I like most of my elk have seen most of the Human sci-fi shows. Part of our training for us to amerce ourselves in the folktales, legends and fictional cultures of the planets we frequent.

On a completely separate note I thought you might be interested to know that a couple of weeks ago I was asked to attend a wedding in the capacity of a Best man, as the groom was an elder sibling. We both wore ties and morphed our faces and bodies to look like humans. Pics of the occasion to follow at a later date, so watch this space as they say.

cellphone ban

A new Law has come into New Zealand banning the use of cellphones whilst driving, the penalty is quite high: involving a monetary and demerit points.

Hands free kits are allowed but there seems little in the way of requirement for employers to install them in their fleets. Some people from other countries have tried getting round this by placing the cellphone on the passenger seat and using the speaker-phone option, or attaching it to various parts of their body where they hope it will not be detected. New Zealanders have been warned that the local law and order enforcers will not put up with such shenanigans.

Distraction free driving has been a hot topic throughout a number of dimensions for quite some time and each intelligent life form has their own unique ways of dealing with it.

The most fascinating case I have been studying of recent times is that of the Oomptychars, a life force that communicates via telephony. After much study they linked telepathic communication whist driving to a number of fatal accidents, and thus laws were passed prohibiting telephony whist driving.

By means of highly advanced technology they were able to scan the airways for telepathic activity and trace it back to its origin with the help of a sophisticated GPS mechanism. If the originator of this activity should happen to be in a moving vehicle, then the telepathic part of his/her/its (whatever) would be blocked by another mechanism.

This blockage causes extreme migraines if the offender tries to any further telepathic communication, until such time as the vehicle ceases movement. An extreme measure but from what I understand the Oomptychars are a fairly extreme race of beings.
