In the Star Trek universe, when one space faring race encounters another they always have at least one thing in common: both their ships are oriented the same way vis a vis up/down. But space has no objective up/down axis. Nonetheless, when the Enterprise runs into some Romulans it looks like this:

But it’s just as likely the two ships would encounter each other as such:

This could cause some confusion.

The only way to explain why different star ships always meet each other right side up is to postulate some sort of galactic standard. But this wouldn’t explain all the alien civilizations the Enterprise discovers that also fly at the same angle. This could have made for great story lines where alien races are offended by the upside down approach of the enterprise.

However, it bears mentioning that at least one species is an exception to this phenomenon.

No one can upside down the borg

Because of their simple ship design the Borg cannot be flanked, dropped onto or attacked from behind. The Borg have assimilated all three spatial dimensions into their ship design and they always appear right side up.

I saw this picture the other day while I was in the mall.

Let’s take it for granted that Victoria’s Secret knows exactly what they’re doing. One can safely assume there’s a team of graphic designers picking over each image making sure that things like big subliminal dicks don’t make it in there on accident. So why do they have a pseudo-penis sitting right in the lap of this model? I’ve come up with roughly three possible reasons.

1. Many of the people who buy Victoria’s Secret lingerie are men shopping for their girlfriends or wives, this quietly pornographic image is meant to lure them in.
2. This image subtly calls out to the desire of women to have a penis, not necessarily coming out of their body but just to sort of have around, and maybe wave threateningly at a few people. If you think I’m crazy think back to the times you’ve heard a girl bragging about her boyfriend’s large junk. It’s a lot like she’s bragging about her own big dick and actually she is, because that penis is now her property and simply on loan to the guy it’s physically attached to.
3. Something to do with transexuals, but I’m stumped as to what.
