Science fiction observation

rkmsuf · 05-06-2008, 01:08 PM

I was watching Star Wars II the other day and Padme was going on a trip to another planet. Wouldn't you know they show her packing a suitcase with stuff much like the ones we have today. I was like wow, way into the future and we still use suitcases.

Kodos · 05-06-2008, 01:09 PM

Actually, Star Wars happened a long time ago...

rkmsuf · 05-06-2008, 01:12 PM

Ah, perhaps.

What about the fact that there seems to be a lack of toilets in the future? Did our bodies adapt to eliminate waste evacuation?

Huckleberry · 05-06-2008, 01:12 PM

Longer than that. It was a long, long time ago.

rkmsuf · 05-06-2008, 01:15 PM

I mean wouldn't you pay big money to see Mr. Spock take the Vulcan equivalent of a dump?

Kodos · 05-06-2008, 01:16 PM

On Star Trek, they just beam your waste into the nearest star.

For MikeVic's sanity I hope this comes true fast.

How come you never see drawings of cavemen packing their poop into suitcases?

Dr. Sak · 05-06-2008, 01:19 PM

This talk of waste systems in the future being obsolete buys into my theory that women don't poop, they take a pill and it turns to pee.

Because they are too busy saving you money on your car insurance.

Right but there's no peeing in the future. Ever see Janeway squatting on an away mission?

Kodos · 05-06-2008, 01:21 PM

If there were cavemen around today, would we keep them in zoos?

I think we'd race them.

Seen it? No. Read about it in Voyager fanfiction? Oh, yes.

chesapeake · 05-06-2008, 01:33 PM

Where do you think they get the material that comes out of the replicators from?

don't tell anyone that ever again

MikeVic · 05-06-2008, 01:44 PM

Waste probably seeps out through the pores in the future.

Everyone would go around smelling like shit. How the hell are you going to get laid smelling like shit and piss?

rkmsuf · 05-06-2008, 01:48 PM

Hairless Wookies...the new sexy look for the year 4123 or disgusting? Geraldo investigates next.

MikeVic · 05-06-2008, 01:49 PM

Maybe they bio-engineered human DNA to emit a fresh scent too? But since everyone does it, it's never brought up, since it's normal to them and they don't even recognize the smell anymore.

You realize that we now have 30 hours to replace a pretty large segment of the podcast. Gee, thanks a lot.

Wookies are proof that Yeti exist.

JediKooter · 05-06-2008, 02:41 PM

What do you think the bulk cruisers are used for in Star Wars and why Han could so easliy out run them?

Cargo transportation and local defense. They were slow.

Ummmmmmmm... you really weren't looking for an answer were you?

It was indeed a rhetorical question

This can't be right. It has to be the other way around, turning pee into poop. Otherwise, wouldn't they be the ones leaving the toilet seat up? What am I missing here? That whole female anatomy thing is a mystery to me, but the way I have it figured, they must just have one hole that everything comes out of at the same time. If all they did was pee, they could just stand up and do it like we do.

Right?

Of course we'd keep them in zoos. They'd be way too cute to exterminate.

Right?

I don't know about you but the last thing I want to think about is a woman taking a crap. They have to get rid of waste somehow and I'd rather it be in the liquid form.

Two girls, one cup.

That is all.
