It was originally taken from the sig of Tom McDonald, if I recall correctly.
I think that it has also been used as an alternative power source.

Spiffcraft is the spaceship driven by Calvin from Calvin & Hobbs. It (the
lego rendition) was originally created by Mark Sandlin

I don't recall how he became Grand Admiral. I think it had something to do
with the Spamcake drive above and a box of jelly filled donuts.
He was also demoted once... http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=7975
But that didn't last long http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=29752

Generally through a great contribution to the Space community, or having and
endless supply of jelly donuts.

Read about it here: http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=19524 (funny how the
