There's a fantastic website which I like to look at now and again in order to furnish my Ideas Cabinet with crazy-but-true stories for youth talks.
As I surfed onto NewsoftheWierd.com, I found this excellent story:
"Tony Alleyne, 50, recently placed his small Leicestershire, England, apartment on the market for the equivalent of US$1.7 million, a price he said was realistic because he has spent nearly 10 years crafting the premises as a finely detailed model of the "Star Trek" starship Enterprise. Included, according to an April report in Australia's Herald Sun, are a life-size transporter control, a gigantic warp core drive, voice-activated lighting and security, and an infinity mirror. "If you're going to do something," he said, "you have to go all the way." Alleyne said he started the project as therapy when his wife walked out on him."
So there you go.
