This is a great idea to further along the Fleebnork mythos. I have these guys in orange and I have those trans orange bricks so this comes in handy. I guarantee I'll use this fuel source for an upcoming project. (And I'm currently reprogramming some of my bots as harvesters instead of killers.) :-) Now with the geeking. I personally think even 1,000,000 miles per medium recepticle is not very much. Consider that the distance to the sun from earth is about 92,000,000 miles (1 AU). Now considering that you say these middle sized recepticles are used for the Spiffco ships, IMO, its still not gonna get them very far. To me all of these ships (probably obviously but its nice as a reminder) should copy the feel of the OG ship from Calvin and Hobbes. This ship could travel across the galaxy (universe?) exploring strange planets (and crash on them) and so on, and you know Calvin didn't have room for spares in that thing. Why not have the recepticles last a length of time? (Under normal use) Like a year or something?

		Re: New species of Fleebnork discovered; efficient fuel source
(...) I agree; from the proccessing pics, it appears that the Fleebnork is condensed down to the cemichal in some sort of crystaline lattice (block) form. This form could either be the power source, or could be used to direct fusion or (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
