well that explains why they talk funny... canadian voices are designed to be heard in a methane atmosphere and hearing them in oxygen just messes them up

ok, most of these are pretty bad, but here goes...

239. You actually know what "contra-terrene" means - bonus points if you have more than a vague understanding of how a photon can be "jacketed"!
240. The fact that a tachyon cannon has a completely different effect than a tachyon PROJECTION cannon is not in the least disturbing to you.
241. "So then they opened fire with their Wave Motion Gun..." "Oh, you a fan of Starblazers are you?" "Starblazers? Never heard of it..."
242. When watching the original Star Trek episode "The Ultimate Computer" you think, "A REAL Master Computer wouldn't act like that!"
243. Upon seeing the monolith on the moon in "2001: A Space Odyssey" your immediate reaction was, "Oh boy! 1100 of every resource! Too bad the moon doesn't have any more facility slots, then we could REALLY rake in the dough!"
244. You don't understand why when we have a war all our molecular biologists and architectural engineers don't immediately drop what they're doing and start developing orbital massdriver cannons of doom!
245. "They're using depleted uranium shells? So what, my emissive armor will block 3/4 of the damage!"
246. When you heard that ground troops were deployed to Iraq, you turned on the TV and said, "Hey, what are all those guys doing there in funny green outfits? Where are the Heavy Battle Mecha?"
247. And when you heard about the casualties, you said, "Wounded?!? That's impossible! Troops are units, so they don't take partial damage!"
248. You take up playing Starcraft but can't shake the habit of calling your Zerglings "ripper beam escorts"
249. You start wondering what racial traits God has. "Ancient Race for sure, and he probably has Omnipresent view of all systems turned on as well, the cheating %*@!*( ..."
250. (Woohoo, a good one for a good number!) Your girlfriend gets pregnant and you say, "Oops, it must be the leaky shield effect"
251. She DOESN'T get pregnant and you say, "Dammit Susan, do you HAVE to use so much Emissive Armor?"
252. You never quite saw the point of "broadband"... dialup is good enough for all MY Online gaming needs... if it takes two days between turns, surely I can wait another five minutes for the .zip to download from PBW...
253. You ask the pastor of your church if it is a War Shrine or one of those pansy Nature Shrines, because we really need to help out the boys in Iraq!
254. You are the director of the Department of Homeland Security and your first initiative to prevent terrorism is to build a Fate Shrine in every state.
255. You can recite the names of all the Canadian regulars to this forum, from memory!
256. You did not write this entry for fear of causing an Overflow Error and crashing the game

257. You take exception to #253, because system-wide value and conditions improvement are awesome abilities.

#259 You justify a poor yearly review at work by saying "well, you have to take into account my -20% productivity" because of hostile elements in my proximity.
#260 You love SPACE HoRSE, but thought that resource 'spoilage' was unrealistic because it should have been labled 'maintenance'.
#261 You don't believe in a war for oil, but minerals and radioactives might be another matter all together.

262. (This happened to me today) You look at anything with the word "Race" in it and simultaeneously think of shipsets and try and correct it in your head to "Racial"

263 - Your friends are tired of the way you analogize everything to SE4 terms.
Friend "They never should have put that rookie pitcher in Last night."
Me "Yeah, it's like in SE4, you never send your ship into battle before parking it over your emergency training sector for a couple of turns"
Friend "OH jeesh."
