Well, Scotty always predicted doom...
It appears that Scotty's ashes and those of some 200 others, after a brief time in space on April 30 of this year, were to be returned to loving family members as memorial tributes. Now it appears they crashed back to Earth in rough terrain and are still missing. A news story from MSN.com states that "The UP Aerospace payload included samples of cremated remains from more than 200 people, including James Doohan, who played the role of Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the original "Star Trek" series..."
From the blog of Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) asks...
"Q. What do you call a crater left by a rocket full of cremated remains? A. An ash hole."
My favourite bumper sticker goes like this...
Very funny Scotty, now beam down my clothes !
ps - as I write this, I am watching Buck Rogers on Space channel - there must be a better way to wait for Phils moving truck to get here :)
