Hi all,

I been reading .space ever since I joined LUGNET (Dec. 2002), and there are
still some things I can't figure out, like:

What is Spamcake?
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.

Hmmm...interesting....

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

Duh!  My sister is crazy about Calvin and Hobbes and has most of the books!
I read them a lot and I never saw the connection!  Maybe I'll build a
Spiffcraft now...

Why the heck is Mark Sandlin referred to as "Grand Admiral"
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.

*raises eyebrow*  ;-)

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


And some questions too:

Are there ranks other than "Grand Admiral" (Mark Sandlin) and "Admiral PCS
Division" (Chris Giddens)
Sure. There are plenty. Pick one. :-)


What do people do to earn these promotions?
Generally through a great contribution to the Space community, or having and
endless supply of jelly donuts.

So basically, I can name myself whatever I want?  Sweeeeeet!

ATTENTION!  ALL RISE!

You meager Earthlings shall now refer to me as:

"Uber Supreme Most High All-Time Ruler Of The Whole Freakin' Universe, SIR!"

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

*grin*

I dunno, that's quite a mouthful and I don't like Jelly Donuts...

I'll stick to Lord of the LEGO for now..

;-)

Thanks to everyone for the help,

Nathan

Lord of the LEGO
