    Klingon Bird of Prey! I always thought the "bad guys" in Star Trek had better looking ships!

    In fact... my very first car had a bumper sticker on it declaring "This is a Klingon Warship!" I wish I still had photographs of that car... if you saw them you'd agree with the bumper sticker...

    The Day The Earth Stood Still -- what more is there to say? I saw that in the late 60's or early 70's and it left quite an impression.

    Clearly, disk-shaped.

    In recent few thousdand years I became fond of Quagaar's ships. They're somewhat shaped like Red Dwarf garbage pods, but they are real alien ships, really...

    Of course, there is gas and dust in space, and though it is very thin (in earth terms, at least), a space ship would also have to go very quickly. Aerodynamics are therefore just as important, if not more so, as they would be on Earth. Therefore, I would vote for "the shape of Sam Hornish's car from the Indy 500", because, as Marco Andretti said, "Where did he get that speed?"

    It was pretty close between a Paco Pez Dispenser and the blob of Spaghetti and Meatballs (FSM?) but Paco had to win because of where we all are.
