EternusIV Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 What is a 250t ship class - Speed Bump? War Dart? Vernicious Knid*? -SK *Obscure literary reference ... not found in the White/Weber books. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL I think the ship class is "Super Efficient Screen Ship That Will Require the Attacker to Last 4 Times Longer than Against a Legal Screen Ship Design" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospective Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Actually, I think it was a Wonkavator... he made quite a point of it in the movie as I recall (not only does it go up and down but it goes frontways, sideways, slantways....)

hobknob Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Ah.... But the movie had to come from a book which I read many moons ago, befor Hollywood could mess it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowKitsune Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Actually, there were two books: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Willy Wonka and the Great Glass Elevator Yes, I am aged and still read books made of paper. -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still read paper books as well although I tend to more nonfiction these days. Roald Dahl who wrote Willy Wonka was a great children's (and adult's) author. I remember reading "James and the Giant Peach" when I was much much younger (around 9 or 10). One of the first books of his I can remember. He also wrote "The BFG" (Big Friendly Giant), "The Witches" and "Matilda" amongst others, all of which were made into movies or cartoons.
