    My favourite was always Djelibeybi. (Pronounced "Jelly Baby" for those who are slow like me. It took me most of the book to realise the pun)

    What about Llamedos? I liked the "welsh" unti I realised that it was "Sod 'em all" backwards. Then I REALLY wanted to live there! :laugh:

      Is that the Dreaming Void ones? I'd seen them, couldn't decide if I wanted to buy them or not.

      Yes and definatly get it! It's great, it's a cross between scifi and fantasy because the one lot of people are compleatly cut off from the galaxy :) and it's still set in The Commonwealth universe :D just 1500 years on.

          Pick any planet/moon from Sci-fi movies/literature or in our solar system. I think living on a moon oribiting Saturn would be awesome. :) Marc

              Eventhough is not in our solar system, I would definitely go for Terminus, from Asimov's Foundation... Unbeatable :-D

                If I get the technology, then I want to live on Sphinx in the Honorverse. This is assuming that they would have cured all the allergies I'm suffering with right now via genetic treatments to my ancestors. Also I want to be a captain of a heavy cruiser or maybe a battlecruiser. I'd like to do this a few years before all hell breaks loose and the kingdom has to go to war. That isn't to say I wouldn't fight for my country, but I'd like a few years of the relative peace of fighting pirates prior to all-out war. Also the gene-therapy of prolong would be nice.

                        Star Trek: Next Generation - Risa, also known as the "pleasure planet". Risa is most noted for the frank and open sexuality of its native population. Identified by a decorative emblem on their foreheads between the eyes, Risians often initiate or respond to the desire for sexual relations through the use of a small statuette called a horga'hn, the Risian symbol of sexuality or fertility. Display of a horga'hn announces that the owner wishes to participate in jamaharon, a Risan sexual rite. Oooo, coach put me in!!!

                                Ah, but the body is only identified in the later movies, it's anonymous in the original (and best IMNSHO).

                                Actually, the name and location are specified in the messages transmitted by the company, in particular the ones for the Science Guy (the one with the white-blood problem).

                                  The planet Transexual, in the Transylvania galaxy? On a less discomfiting note, Ballybran. Or Pern. Or, if we allow fantasy worlds, the clear choice is.... actually, you know what? Robert Jordan never gave a name for the world on which The Wheel Of Time takes place, did he?

                                    Sphinx (of David Weber's Honorverse), or possibly Manticore. After all - if a six-limbed treecat can be taught a variation of sign language, can typing be far behind? That will lead to coding, and what kind of code does a telepathic carnivore with a wicked sense of humor write? Grady Patterson Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. C. S. Lewis

                                          Hard to choose. Caladan sounded nice, I liked the beautiful ringed planet around the planet in Pitch Black tho I wouldn't want the night-flying guests, that beautiful Venice planet in the 2nd new Star Wars trilogy was pretty, and it would be cool to see how LV-426/Acheron would have urned out if they'd finished terraforming and those pesky Aliens hadn't have required a nuclear strike. . . :cool:
