Death Star!!

Just signed the petition for the US Government to start construction of a Death Star in 2016. As more than 25,000 have now signed they have to officially respond lol....

Wow. This could really happen!

delta0 · 14 Dec 2012 at 11:54

As long as it is manned by Brits this could work. lol

arknor · 14 Dec 2012 at 11:56

I thought building something like this would take up all our resources in iron.

It would.

It would create a lot of jobs.

I'm sorry, but without the addition of railings around the superlaser firing controls then the Death Star just wouldnt meet current health and safety legislation.

There is no way they could do this using that much iron or steel. It would have to be carbon fibre composites. Launched bit by bit up into space and then assembled.

Steel for the Death Star:

I saw the thread title, and wondered why somebody would make a thread about IBM's Deskstars, aka Deathstars...

Spit · 14 Dec 2012 at 12:08

LOL, 48 Million workers to mop the floors in a year....

This is the answer to our unemployment issues!

The key to this project is the giant laser, which was invented by the noted Cambridge physicist, Dr. Parsons. So therefore, it is fitting to call it: "The Alan Parsons Project".

People who signed that are stupid and insane, a deadly combination.

When you say they "have to offically respond" could they not just go.

"emmm no..."
