Aside from the sports-related items (noting baseball is getting a disproportionate share), where's the weird ones?
• Buzz - BELONGED!
• Roddenberry's ashes - DITTO! +1!!
• Coke & Pepsi - in the mission pic-a-nic basket. DUH?
• Jamestown Cargo Tag - that's what happens when NASA budget cuts force using Delta baggage handlers.
• Lightsaber - well, if the Russki's are packing firearms (which produce interesting no-grav reactions, not to mention vacuum-related aftereffects....but then, it's Russkis!) and the inherent Darwinism of bringing a knife to a gunfight....still better'n nothing!
Next case?
