I can see it now,

The guy before Spike finishes up his talk...

    "...and that's how you measure the gloss of paint."

Spike takes the stand... the lights dim...

    "IN THE FUTURE..."

As the words role out of Spike's mouth the audience develops
a mixed look of captivation and worry.

    "...and then we upload into planet-size computers and
    figure out a way to escape into a baby universe with
    Tiplerian properties. Thank you, and goodnight"

It's good to be extropian.
