    You forgot one.

    We have all your working biros and we're not afraid to use them.

    Leave a box of used postit notes and a box of paperclips inside the filling cabinet and things won't get nasty.

    Mandor, eh? I may be wrong, but I sense some Eddings influence...

    To get back on topic, though, I like the list. Could come in handy.

    Thanks. While some of the places here are my own creations, most of this I dug up by compiling from resources around the web. Choikis and SWT are a pair of creations that have beena round forever, so I figured they deserved to be here. But I wanted a list for everyone to use beucase they give more flavour to a ship's design. plus the plot device potential is always good when you have things like this around.

    You also forgot "Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems." Yes, it originally came from The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai: Across The 8th Dimension, but graphics featuring the name has appeared on on-screen TNG props, so it is canon. . . sort of.

    Does your sig area really need to be bigger then your post?
