I wonder what that makes the Death Star... :P
A star that causes death. Duh. :D
Well, that doesn't say much about capabilities, but we do know that it is star sized ;)

If possible, could you post the email you sent that crushed him? I don't mind anyone using anything I type to destroy stupid trekkie arguments (thats why I post them in the first place). I would just like to see the finished product. :)

Sorry, I use yahoo for e-mail, and unless I explicitly save it as a draft, I don't have a copy of it. And he didn't send his concession by quoting it.

Well, congratulations.

I'm not sure what the HELL he was talking about with his "science fantasy vs. science fiction" idea, seeing as how SW doesn't even TRY to answer HOW things work, and what ST does can be sometimes worse than that, but as long as you won....

The down side is, your brother only conceeded the debate because he didn't want to invest the time, not because he though you were right. I'm probably going to check out the Trek board he linked to and see if their arguments make any sense over the weekend. I doubt they do.

Well, it seems the guy has some sense in him at least, :D to concede while he still had the chance :twisted:
