Random Quote
You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.
[Aldous Huxley]

Exactly what I thought, Bronze Dog. Somebody needs to photoshop some Spitfires in there.

Spitfires? Those are so 20th century.
It's clearly the Reaver's spaceship from Whedon's "Firefly" SF series...

Come on guys -- all this fuss over a perfectly natural bodily function? Is it just because it involves an orifice we primates don't have? (AFAIK) :-) :-) :-)
So this guy looks like he's facing away from us, inking at something above and behind the frame... Are those bumps on top the back of his eyes, or something else?

Reavers? This close to the core worlds? More likely scavengers.
