I love FOX news' analogy: travelling by bubble os something more used by the witches of Oz - who writes this?

[Eratosthenes 0]

Yeah I saw that...I have no idea who FOX actually employs...probably the Oompa Loompa population or something.

I am starting to think people may not believe OZ is real.

Okay, why is - using a literary reference to illustrate that some people might think bubble travel is more the realm of fantasy than reality - a bad thing? How many average joes on the street are versed in M theory?

 

I think the fact that scientists believe this will someday be a reality is a good thing.

They say the same thing about unicorns.

You know if we wrote for Fox we wiould have Used Star Trek not Oz. I mean who wrote that needs to be chained to a chair and forced to watch Spocks Brain over and over again for 24 hours.

I think he means the 'warp bubble'.

playind devil's advocate here - sure I thought of the warp bubble when reading the article but using the analogy on the general public would have left most readers clueless. Not only is it a reference only a niche interest group would get - it was never a visual image in the series - whereas that big floating bubble with Glinda inside is a visual image people can relate to. We're talking first sentence opener to get people's attention.
