Also the play on Juan Valdez the Colombian coffee man.

The Titanic only had one hull segmented into watertight compartments. Now most modern supertankers have multiple hulls

THAT'S R2!!! R2, DAMMIT, R2!!!!

I sentence you to be frozen in carbonite for ten thousand bleems.

Actually, the official spelling *is* Artoo.

I sentence you to be thrown in the sarlaac pit, where you will be slowly digested over 1000 years.

Oh yes, and we all know that the credits of "Sesame Street" are far more accurate when it comes to Star Wars characters than the credits of, oh, let's say... *Star Wars*.

Frank Oz, one of the Executive Producers of Star Wars, who did the voice of Yoda (and thus had the clout to get them to appear on SS), said that it was R2D2. I am not one to dispute the voice of Miss Piggy.

Alex Cain wrote:

Yeah, the voice of Miss Piggy *must* be more correct than George Lucas! I stand corrected.

Oh, and in case you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic!

Just out of curiosity: Why, exactly, would Frank Oz's opinion on this be more valid than George Lucas', the man who *created* the character?

Just curious.

Actually, I just watched the trilogy again today. While the end credits of "A New Hope" spells it Artoo, "Strikes Back" and "Jedi" spells it as R2D2.

So I suppose you're partially right.

Isn't it Juan Valdez instead of Wong?

Yep, I'm pretty sure it was named after fictional(?) coffee magnate Juan Valdez.

I believe the Orca ate Bo Derek's leg. BTW, a major physics goof is the windchill factor being 20 degress below ablsoute zero. There is nothing below absolute zero by definition. I sure hope someone gets fired over that blunder.

Wrong! There are temps below absolute zero. In fact, temps below absolute zero have been reached in the lab.

When absolute zero was calculated it was supposed to be the point of zero kinetic energy. If that were true, then to go below that would involves a negative amount of energy, a concept that would make robots' heads explode. However, in the years since that calculation, nuclear physicists have discover an small amount of additional kinetic energy in the nucleus, which can be reduced using lasers. What would now be truly 'absolute' zero in a few millionths of a degree lower that 0K.

Of course, 20 below it still absurd.

=v= 6000. It was a reference to the Exxon Valdez, not the Titanic. Right down to the drunken bearded captain. <_Jym_>

I loved the cute Kenny from south park impression Leela did (zipping up her parka with her eye peeking out)

When the protesters made the ring around the tanker and it just went up around them was right out of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

When both ships were in the nebula, Kirk noticed that Khan was working in two dimensions and orders the Enterprise to move "Z minus 10000 meters". The Z axis is up / down from the X-Y plane.

I didn't see anyone pointing out that Bender's shiny metal ass was actually bitten in this episode. Even though it was by a beak, the move was definitely a bite, not a peck.
