King Abdullah of Jordan (who was once an extra in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager) has given the green light to a $1.5 billion Star Trek theme park (http://inhabitat.com/jordans-1-5-billion-star-trek-theme-park-to-be-powered-by-alternative-energy/) that will boldly take Jordan where no Gulf state has gone before. While the theme park (http://www.hoteliermiddleeast.com/12060-us-15bn-funding-secured-for-star-trek-attraction/) will not be powered by dilithium crystals, it will utilize green technology in order to lower its carbon footprint — all of its electricity will be generated by renewable sources."Just a few weeks ago Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Ahyan carved his name in the desert so it could be seen from space (http://idle.slashdot.org/story/11/07/20/162212/Sheikh-Carves-His-Name-In-Desert-So-Its-Visible-From-Space). It looks like Sci-fi has finally made it to the Middle East. I can't wait for them to discover Firefly.

sounds bloody great
