on orhan pamuk's nobel.

Some have intimated that with the clash of civilations talk with islam these days, and pamuk's antagonism of the turkish government with his talk of the armenian genocide, that pamuk has been positioning himself to be a nobel candidate these past two years.

Boo.

Booyah.

Enterprise sells for 1/2 million dollars

David Pescovitz: A 78-inch-long model of the Starship Enterprise-D,
featured in the title sequence of Star Trek: The Next Generation and
used in other episodes, sold for $576,000 today at Christie's "40
Years of Star Trek" auction. The estimate on it was $25,000 - $35,000.
From the Associated Press:

Other top sellers on Saturday's action included a replica of Capt.
James T. Kirk's command chair from the bridge of the Enterprise-A on
the original "Star Trek" series.

The painted wood chair was only a re-creation for a 1996 episode of
"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" that mixed action from that newer series
with old footage, but it still sold for $62,400.
