    While searching for a great “The more you know” Star Trek meme, I found this little gem, that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share:

    IKR - I feel like such a traitor, but… the memes never lie…

      Gotta be honest, I’m not really too upset that Disney doesn’t own Star Trek…

        We should add: wanna know how much better Trek is than Wars nowadays? The answer is that awhile go, Disney bought Wars.

      It depends on what your definition of better is.

      Disney thinks Start Wars is better in terms of mass market adoption aka more profitability. And they are probably right if that is your definition.

        True, but if I decide to say that shit tastes like candy, then that means that, according to that definition, shit tastes like candy (and if the equality property is true, then also the reverse?:-P).

        That still does not make it “better”, by any normal definition of that word.

      They’re regular “no spill” mugs. Pretty useful on a boat.

      And, I guess, in space.

      They’re travel mugs for commuting and driving. The wide base means it’s less likely to tip over and spill. They were produced before the widespread adoption of cupholders in vehicles.

      They used to sell them back in the day at conventions. My aunt had a few and they were good for hot chocolate. I don’t remember them being difficult to clean.
