Star Trek's Enterprise recast as bottle opener
Captain's log, stardate: 62515.5
Today, while on an away mission to Red5, I discovered a new drinking accessory.
The Enterprise (NCC-1701--"no bloody 'A', 'B', 'C', or 'D' ") from the original Star Trek series has been immortalized, or at least recast, as a bottle opener. I don't know if it will help you seek out new life and new civilizations, but it should open bottles you've never opened before.
The opener is available for about $18 (12 pounds); however, I'm not certain they ship outside of the U.K. You can e-mail Red5 at customer.services@red5.co.uk to find out.
Daren Darrow, a gadget and sci-fi geek, is a CNET copy editor by day and a crime-fighting superhero by night (at least in his dreams.) E-mail Daren.
