What would you do if you had buckets, make that buildings of money? Grab an overpriced trip to space? Buy a mansion? Open a business? Buy every Star Trek Gnome? 
What if you couldn't get to warp speed but you could afford to make a building look like the Enterprise? And for a mere 160 million. Would you do it? 
Picture
The world’s only officially-licensed Star Trek building, designed after the USS Enterprise, is boldly going where no other piece of architecture has gone before. Commissioned by NetDragon Websoft, a China-based gaming and mobile Internet company, this building probably makes going to work the highlight of several people’s day. The building sprang from the mind of NetDragon Websoft’s Chairman Liu Dejian, a reported Star Trek aficionado. After licensing the rights from CBS to construct the building, it took six years (2008-2014) and $160 million to make.

Congratulations! You made many a geeks dream come true!

Oh Gnome!

It is a great day for Gnome, gardening, Star trek fans everywhere! Today at ThinkGeek you can get one of these for $24.99. Will you be buying one or the whole set? I think I would buy them for indoors, that Gorn is calling my name! Get yours here.
NOT YOUR GARDEN-VARIETY GNOMEDid you realize there's a whole subculture of Star Trek horticulturists? There are daylilies named after Trek, a handful of hostas, and even a Star Trek begonia.
The perfect statuary to go with your newly-acquired Star Trek plants? Why, that would be the Star Trek Garden Gnomes, of course! They come in four flavors. Here's how the base reads on each:
  • Kirk - To boldly go where no man has gone before
  • Kirk & Gorn - I shall be merciful and quick - Gorn
  • Redshirt - Join Starfleet they said. It'd be fun they said
  • Spock - Live long and prosper
Personally, we're getting the Spock first because we need all the help we can get in making our garden LLAP.
