Saucer across the universe in style


9th April 2009






Item: Traditional Japanese flying saucer. Made almost entirely of paper, string and bamboo - organic, biodegradable materials that won't alarm natives on technologically backward planets. Track record in reaching warp speeds spotty but manufacturer claims it's about the journey, not how many light years you take to get there. Optional extras include karaoke-cum-tea-ceremony room and hot springs bath. See your dealer for details.

They're coming through the walls, they're coming through the walls...
