Hey, you youngsters, you callow youths, you Tabulae Rasae, not one of you pointed out that Apollo 13 was NOT a Space shuttle mission- it was an Apollo mission, on an Atlas rocket.
They were in a pretty small capsule, not a giant winged minivan.

rookies.

brian, still time to change it.

I don't usually correct items posted in fun, but I can't help but correct a corrector. Josephus almost got it right; it was an Apollo mission, but the booster was a Saturn V, not an Atlas.

I'm not much of a Photochopper, but when it comes to arcane spaceflight trivia, I'm always glad to help out...

That would have been impressive. These are the first things to come up on Google (hairpick) and yahoo (giant match). Sorry dude.

Got a lot of time on your hands T?

You mean the ten seconds it took to find those 'original creations'? Honestly if you're going to make silly claims, at least pick more obscure sources than Yahoo and Google image search. Sorry, if it's one thing I despise it's people taking credit for things they didn't do, or flat out stealing work. Here's a great site devoted to just that.

Don't know if you took a second to notice, but I wasn't the one who posted the plagiarism. Just thought it was interesting that you took the time to point out the flaws in someone elses post.

But not everyone can make a household item out of scratch and make it look real. If say you made those things, it's an insult to people who actually can. I'll just assume that you meant it as a joke.

bravo. it should be fair. There's nothing wrong with using that stuff, only in saying you made it when you didn't.

You should convert the objects to greyscale it would blend better.

Oh is it supposed to look more realistic? I'm not even sure what we are being judged on the creativity of the items in the kits not the actual work itself.

I thought it would "match" better
I think the entries are judged on creativity and execution. I don't think a color/grayscale chop win anything other than a monkey prize, unless the combination is there to make a statement. Then again, I've never won anything here so I may just be blowing smoke out my caboose.
