Commodities wanted! for WC Universe

Your steel swords are no match for my pointy stick! :D

[Hey, that's a thought! Divide weapons into crowbars and chainsaws and pointy sticks to make things interesting! Their valuw would go up and down depending on planetary events. Just think of the headlines...:)]

crazy guy kills thousands.
pointy sticks blamed.
$tormin under investigation for the manufacture of deadly and inhumane weaponry.

Just some more thoughts:

BLACK MARKET:
Soylant Green
Un-certified organs (need a heart quick? Here ya go!
Don't bother asking where we got it...)
Filet de Spotted Owl
Ivory
Sentient pelts/skins
Forbidden Books

MEDICAL:
Lab animals
Genetic Material (Want to clone a genius child? Here's
the building blocks!)
Unicellular organisms (e.g. bacteria for cultivating
beer, medical experiments, etc.)
Bioconvergence nanobots (they can be used for other things
besides killing people -- they can also be coded to destroy
cancer cells, for example).

Respectfully,

Brian P.

Why aren't you proud to be German? Granted, Germans
have produced their share of evil, but the country
has also given the world Beethoven, Bach, Martin
Luther, Albert Einstein, Heisenberg (of "Heisenberg's
Uncertainty Principle") and a cast of others.

Reminds me of a quote by C.S. Lewis in his book "Prince
Caspian" -

"I wish I came of a better lineage"
A: "You come of the race of Adam, and that is both
honor enough to lift the head of the lowest begger
and shame enough to bow the head of the greatest emperor".

Respectfully,

Brian P.

-- A USAian (and reasonably proud of his country, in a humble sort of way :)).
 
[21:19] <TC^> Can someone tell Quarto he isn't alowed to talk like Paladin.
[21:20] * _Striker clears his throat
[21:20] <_Striker> Quarto, you can't talk like Paladin anymore! You are not allowed!
[21:21] <TC^> um... thanks...

To pendell: I had a really good quote to respond to your earlier post. Unfortunetly, I forgot what it was. Er...

Now I havta think up several semi-plausible products:

Mutant penguins
Super sheep
Oak trees
The Book of LOAF
H20
Tiberium
Authentic Kilrathi Fangs - Straight From The Empire!
Meow Mix

If I think of any more...um, do you really want to hear them?

A big Command & Conquer fan, huh? ;)

As for "The Book of LOAF"... while EVERY pilot in the galaxy should own a copy, I don't see what it could possibly be useful for... :)
 
What a book??? You wrote one?
Oh man, I still got much to lear, but no time. I should go more often to the CIC-website...:)

Sorry -- I was thinking the discussion was post-WC4
timeframe? We were talking about products in the *WC*
universe, right?

Some more product thoughts:

Hovercraft, Industrial
Hovercraft, Pleasure
Personal Chauffeur computerized hovercraft pilot/Navigator.

Computing Binary implants (computers directly interfaced
to the brain to supplement memory and processing
speed -- e.g. gives brain instant access to database
of names and faces so you REALLY never forget a face.
Or to rapidly perform Calculus equations).

Miner, Robotic
Exoskeleton, Industrial
Weather Satellites
Communication Satellites
Smog (I hypothesize an alien species that finds carbon
monoxide inhalation
quite pleasing -- rather like eating chocolate
for humans)
Fertilizer (Made on Old Earth from all-natural organic
products!)
Styrofoam
Spam
Fuzzy Dice
Lava Lamps
Pet Rocks (Remember, people actually BOUGHT them once,
and it's a wide, wide galaxy).
99,999 variations of alcohol.
200,000 variations on other intoxicants.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

Well yes - this thing is supposed to be set during the Kilrathi War, as I understand it.
