Hello World!

I read about an fantastic invention this morning. I think, if I wasn't so addicted to my Playstation and the internet I might even have to start saving my pennies for it. Of course, it would take me a few centuries to accumulate enough.

The Executive Silencer costs a whopping $2,500. But it performs an invaluable service that would be a great benefit to all those around me.

This fantastic gadget has the power to silence all mobile phones within a certain vicinity. Imagine that. Next time I'm in a que at the Post Office, no more annoying Samba-style ring tones going off every 5 second. No more Match of The Day trilling from the back seat on the bus.

Unfortunately, the gadget is so high tech, you need permission to operate it in the UK. I only wish you needed special permission to have that annoying samba ring tone on your mobile phone.

  As they continue their deep space exploration, the Enterprise crew comes across an alien ship where they discover 15 humanoid corpses that seem to have been part of a scientific experiment. The horrific sight inspires Hoshi to panic and demand a return to Earth, but Archer insists on continuing the mission and finding out more about the abandoned dead. Trouble comes calling when the aliens that were conducting the gruesome experiments return and begin attacking Captain Archer and his team.
