Also the play on Juan Valdez the Colombian coffee man.

The Titanic only had one hull segmented into watertight compartments. Now most
modern supertankers have multiple hulls

That was 6,000 hulls. Damn it! Why didn't they make it 6,001? When will
they learn?!

Actually, the official spelling *is* Artoo.

I sentence you to be thrown in the sarlaac pit, where you will be slowly
digested over 1000 years.

And the official spelling of "D'oh!" is "[annoyed grunt]," but we ain't
gonna start using it.

=v= 6000. It was a reference to the Exxon Valdez, not the
Titanic. Right down to the drunken bearded captain.

I believe the Orca ate Bo Derek's leg. BTW, a major physics goof is
the windchill factor being 20 degress below ablsoute zero. There
is nothing below absolute zero by definition. I sure hope someone gets
fired over that blunder.

Wrong! There are temps below absolute zero. In fact, temps below
absolute zero have been reached in the lab.

When absolute zero was calculated it was supposed to be the point of
zero kinetic energy. If that were true, then to go below that would
involves a negative amount of energy, a concept that would make
robots' heads explode. However, in the years since that calculation,
nuclear physicists have discover an small amount of additional kinetic
energy in the nucleus, which can be reduced using lasers. What would
now be truly 'absolute' zero in a few millionths of a degree lower
that 0K.

Of course, 20 below it still absurd.

When the protesters made the ring around the tanker and it just went
up around them was right out of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

When both ships were in the nebula, Kirk noticed that Khan was working
in two dimensions and orders the Enterprise to move "Z minus 10000
meters". The Z axis is up / down from the X-Y plane.

Frank Oz, one of the Executive Producers of Star Wars, who did the voice
of Yoda (and thus had the clout to get them to appear on SS), said that
it was R2D2. I am not one to dispute the voice of Miss Piggy.
