VFTQ 150 – It’s the toy’s fault! Not the parents!
VFTQ 150 should be downloaded either through your favourite podcatcher or ViewFromTheQuad.com. PROTIP: iTunes is a podcatcher. And they have reviews. And we like reviews. Take this information and do with it what you will.
VFTQ this week is brought to you by Caffine. I chatter about NASA wanting to blow the moon up in order to find water in it, and why it won’t work. I ramble about baby flamingos who are affraid of the colour pink, which is rather unfortunate. I rant about a prosecutor who wants to ban the toys in fast food meals, and thus destroy the childhood of children everywhere, and I talk about PETA, and their gift to mass fly swatter, Obama.

Star Trek Goodness (really cheap!)
So, now that the Star Trek movie is just about to come beaming onto your screens (It’s a double pun!), Amazon are having a HUGE ASS sale on all their Star Trek stuff. Like, really REALLY big. How about 51% off Star Trek Voyager: Seasons 1-7 
In fact, just head too The Star Trek Store
Until you head to the screening, check out the trailer. It looks epic. A bit TOO epic, in fact. Time will tell, though.
