Captain's log, stardate: 62515.5

Today, while on an away mission to Red5, I discovered a new drinking accessory.

The Enterprise (NCC-1701--"no bloody 'A', 'B', 'C', or 'D' ") from the original Star Trek series has been immortalized, or at least recast, as a bottle opener. I don't know if it will help you seek out new life and new civilizations, but it should open bottles you've never opened before.

The opener is available for about $18 (12 pounds); however, I'm not certain they ship outside of the U.K. You can e-mail Red5 at customer.services@red5.co.uk to find out.

"Captain's log: a bunch of our ship fell off, and, nobody likes me"

So.....why has no one thought of this sooner..and not here in the US? (ESPECIALLY NOT IN THE US? Come on! There ARE such things as redneck geeks, I happen to be one)

Kudos to the people on the other side of the pond.
