I don't think they ever once showed a toilet. Maybe they just beam the waste out of you.

[stitch626]

There was a head on the bridge of the E-D. Never saw it used though.

[Sionnach Glic]

Yes, it's been remarked upon many times, Blackstar.

[Tsukiyumi]

On the note of "facilities", the sonic shower always struck me as kind of lame. It might be more efficient, but there's nothing better than a little theraputic heat from a shower. Not to mention all the wet fun you can have with a partner in it.

[Sionnach Glic]

Indeed. Water showers > sonic showers. Though I can see why water showers wouldn't be used on a starship.

[Tsukiyumi]

Well, yeah, the added infrastructure would be bulky and problematic unless you used some sort of replicator-type system to generate and reclaim the water.

[Mikey]

That would be one hell of grey-water tank, I guess.

Harry Potter and the Deadly Gallows
Characters killed off:
The Prime Minister - Thrown out of the window by Kingsley Shacklebolt for reasons that still remain a mystery. This ignited the Muggle-Wizard war.
Ron Weasley - Shot down by an RAF jet fighter while on Harry's Firebolt. Apparently he had stolen the broom and was trying to escape to France.
Hermione Granger - Gave herself up to the police at the beginning because she didn't want to be a troublemaker. She was burned at stake after a 5-minute trial found her guilty of witchcraft.
Fred and George Weasley - Killed in an unrelated gang shoot-out in Liverpool whilst fucking a load of French chicks.
Remus Lupin - Shot by a farmer while eating his sheep (not in werewolf form).
Tonks - Died of a feral mutated combination of rabies and AIDS that Lupin had been carrying.
The Dursleys - Killed by the police when their car refused to stop at a checkpoint 12 miles west of London.
Arthur Weasley - Killed by sarin gas pumped through the chimney while held up in his house.
Molly Weasley - Killed after having numerous STD's after having an orgy with her sons.
Bill Weasley - Shot 21 times while resisting arrest in Bristol after attempting to bite several officers.
Fleur Delacour - Actually Joan of Arc in disguise, she was seized by Muggles and burned at the stake.
Viktor Krum - Involved in a fly-by shooting. He was shot in the head by illegal Chinese immigrants.
Percy Weasley - Died like Hermione, only cannibals would have preferred him boiled.
Ginny Weasley - Kidnapped by government agents in the hopes that they could lure Harry to her. When that didn't work, she was burned at stake.
Argus Filch - Assassinated when the MI-6 poisoned his flask.
Hagrid - Killed in a fight to the death with a cybernetically-enhanced Manticore, but not before tearing the monster clean in half and crushing its atomic power source with his bare hands. The resulting explosion leveled a block of cities.
Severus Snape - Killed by two drive by shooting that occurred twenty minutes apart, by two separate gangs.
Kingsley Shacklebolt - Took 50 people hostage in a train, demanding that the government remove it's troops from Afghanistan. He and 4 hostages were killed in the resulting SAS rescue mission.
Draco Malfoy - Killed along with his father, Lucius, and 100 other Death Eaters in a well-aimed artillery strike near Plymouth.
Neville Longbottom - Died during a firefight with the Royal Marines after he tried to blow up a barrack with matches, yarn, and Mrs. Norris.
Luna Lovegood - Eaten alive by a Crumple-Horned Snorkack.
Dean Thomas - His body was found in a dusty alleyway in knightsbridge. He reportably was in the act of smuggling stolen North Korean nuclear warheads when a member of the Russian Mafia intercepted him, stabbing Dean thirty-seven times with a rusty icepick until he stopped moving.
Dobby - Was killed by an angry mob while trying to incite a Communist revolution among McDonalds employees.
Mad-Eye Moody - Suicide by slaughter-house machinery (while the poison took hold.)
Cornelius Fudge - After losing his job he was forced to live on the street. He died due to lack of sex.
Gandalf - Died after Just Kidding Rowling was forced to erase the character due to copyright infringements. He is most mourned of those who died in the book, though he can still be found in a little-known sequel written in China.
Mike Myers - Appendix ruptured after watching entertainment tonight (was only mentioned in an early draft of the book.)
Lord Voldemort - Was hit by a drunk driver repeatedly near Edinburgh and died several hours later.
Bellatrix Lestrange -Killed herself after realizing that Voldemort was never coming back from Edinburgh.
Prof. Minerva McGonagall - Caught by Animal Protection Services while in cat form and left in the Pound. Eaten by the dogs she shared a cage with.
Dimple Dolores - Although she was killed in the fifth book, her grave was incinerated by a large, Korean A-bomb when Harry "accidentally" sent the Accio charm into a random direction. So technically, she died again.
Harry Potter - He attempted to escape to Algeria disguised as a nun but was recognized on the plane by Peter Pettigrew. He pushed Pettigrew off the plane but France scrambled fighters and forced his flight to land in Paris. The French were persuaded not to surrender to Harry immediately by the timely arrival of several U.S. infantry divisions. He was then arrested and extradited to the Hague. In the only significant surprise in the book, Harry is sentenced to death immediately and dies by hanging.
Cthulhu - Great Cthulhu dies of a heart blockage from eating so much fried fish and King Fish, in Louisville, KY. However, the narration claim he will return when "the stars are right".
Dumbledore - Dumbledore repeatedly stabbed himself after being shagged by McGonagall and Filch at the same time (Plus Filch's cat)!

Unless it's too damn small, like mine.

Hardly, you load up the freshwater tank at the Starbase and use a similar water purification system that the military uses: reverse osmosis. You can recyle that grey water for a good while before you run out. And you can top off at any habitalbe world thanks to the wonder of the transporter and bio-filter.

Wow, i havent been around here for a bit >.> Heh. Kinda been giving DITL a rest, really.

How is the sonic shower not deafening anyway? It's loud enough to blast all foreign particles from the wrinkles and holes in your skin.

Also, I never could get the hang of shagging in the shower. Water isn't that great of a *ahem* personal lubricant.

[Reliant121]

thats why you take another lubricant. i've always wanted to have sex in the shower. i'v always wanted to do it in a forest and in a car too.

So you must of really enjoyed that top gear episode where Clarkson had a shower setup in his car and you could see trees out of the window?
