I'm not sure where they came from.  I *think* they are from x.  Lemme dig 
around my instructions pile...

AAAAHHHH!!!  No, say it ain't so!  ;-) 
 
I must admit, I have been tempted to see the movie, even though I understand 
that it thrashes Heinlein's vision, and that they did most of their casting 
from 90210 extras.  :-,

I tried once, with this guy:

fighting this guy:

But I didn't pull it off well enough for me to be happy with it.  However, I 
think I was lacking in sheer numbers, not form.  Again, I gotta admit that I 
liked the scene in the S.T. promo with the bug army simply *pouring* over the 
massed human troops -- very eerie. 
 
Cheers,
