Trek Maze



A man in northern England used satellite technology to create this 32-acre maze dedicated to Star Trek. Tom Pearcy used satellite technology to help him design the huge maze at his farm to celebrate Trek's upcoming 40th anniversary.

What a tribute! What a fan! This is the kind of maze I'd like to get lost in.

  1. A very nice tribute. However, methinks Tom Pearcy has too much time on his hands.

  2. The exact date of the anniversary is September 8.

    As you know, I recently posted on Leonard Nimoy.

  3. david: yes, time AND money.

    rhodester: heh heh. I knew someone would say it.

    AOW: I was there too. When people
    ask me if I've always been a Trek fan, I invariably say, "No, just since Sept. 8, 1966." ;-)

    Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
    Got the twelve oclock news blues
    And Ive given up hope on the afternoon soaps
    And a bottle of cold brew
    Is it any wonder Im not crazy? is it any wonder Im sane at all
    Well Im so tired of losing- I got nothing to do and all day to do it
    I go out cruisin but Ive no place to go and all night to get there
    Is it any wonder Im not a criminal?
    Is it any wonder Im not in jail?
    Is it any wonder Ive got

    Too much time on my hands, its ticking away with my sanity
    Ive got too much time on my hands, its hard to believe such a calamity
    Ive got too much time on my hands and its ticking away from me
    Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
    Too much time on my hands

    Well, Im a jet fuel genius - I can solve the worlds problems
    Without even trying
    I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
    That is, as long as Im buying
    Is it any wonder Im not the president
    (hes not the president)
    Is it any wonder Im null and void?
    Is it any wonder Ive got

    Too much time on my hands, its ticking away at my sanity
    Ive got too much time on my hands, its hard to believe such a calamity
    Ive got too much time on my hands and its ticking away from me
    Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
    Too much time on my hands"

    what was this person doing while i was off trying to find swirled peas?
