Don't count on my vote. Maybe you could start that game in another thread.

Forget it, Sanjuro. Ryme's already stated that one thread like this is enough.

Question: Which is better -- Star Wars or Star Trek?

Re: Alphabet Soup - Game

Really, it depends. Star Trek produced better filmic productions (movies, tv shows) but Star Wars produced better textual productions (books).

That's a tough one, but in the end, I like Star Trek better. It's hard to say why. :?

You mean like the GURPS: Aliens creature, or the creature from the movie Alien, or are you really interested in geology?

But I do want to point out that 'xenomorph' is a geological term.

Don't derail the conversation, Zillow. It was starting to get interesting.

For Shikao: A xenomorph is a rock structure; it's part of petrology, which is part of geology. Here, let me quote wikipedia:
A xenomorph (also: allotriomorph) is a mineral that did not develop its otherwise typical external crystal form because of late crystallization between earlier formed crystals. Xenomorphs are typical of matrix minerals in rapidly crystallizing volcanic lavas and shallow igneous intrusions. It is also typical of the interstitial or cementing minerals formed during the diagenesis of sedimentary rocks. The opposite is an idiomorph in which the external form is controlled only by the internal crystal structure.

Granted, but it's also the name of the alien from the Alien franchise.

However, he *did* ask what it meant in geology; I felt it was my duty to answer.

Let it be. Just respond to what is before you, and 'say yes'.

Maybe you guys should talk about something else. TV shows, movies, books, whatever.

Of course, that's half the fun. If there were a topic we had to adhere to, it'd be a different kind of game.
