In other news: HMS Vigilant's captain, Commander Bob Anstey allegedly accidentally fired a nuclear missile at Redmond, Washington in an attempt to complete the Windows Activation of the newly installed 'Submarine Command System Next Generation' customized Windows XP system. "It was a bug, yes, that's it. Some kind of unfortunate bug triggered the 19-step launch sequence," said Commander Anstey. Nobody at or near Microsoft could be reached for a comment.

and if this just happened suddenly out of blue (pardon the pun), at least it would put ultimately to rest the question if Windows secretly "calls home" every now and then....

I see people asking for Heart of Gold and Death Star etc.... but if destructive power was the main criteria, surely any of the ships in the Vogon Constructor Fleet would qualify... Death Star destroys a single bleepin' planet and gets a movie....Vogons do that on a daily basis and don't even get a simple thank you from hitchikers! The ungrateful cretins!

Perhaps could add Starship Titanic to equasion as well...sounds like a delightful little thing!
