I have, mainly for my HMSDS series and most recently for my nanofig-scale
models. Some buzzwords include "neutrino thrust stardrive", "fruitcake
(highly-ionized depleted neutronium, probably a tightly bonded
barium-3-carbon material)", etc.
I really love Karim's terminology, tho. CHarGrll missiles and MacroPAC
turrets, wow. :-,
If you can, pick up a copy of the Star Wars Next Generation Technical
Manual. A most impressive, tightly-coupled bunch o' b.s. that's a real hoot
to read.

Is it still illegal if I copy just the FBI warning?
