NOTE FROM DAVE:
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has created
the first science fiction museum, in Seattle.
We decided to make a few suggestions
about things to include as exhibits.


The Top 10 Additions to
the New Science Fiction Museum


10> A replica of the basement lair of an SF fan.

9> A real hair from the head of William Shatner.

8> Quark’s Q-Tips.

7> Zaphod Beeblebrox’s ego.

6> One of the bales of hundred dollar bills that George Lucas receives for “Star Wars” toy franchises.

5> A hermetically sealed shipping container filled with a fraction of Isaac Asimov’s ego.

3> Wax statue gallery of every chick Captain Kirk ever nailed.
