HA!  Make it 6!  I took a poll of the members of this list during the summer
as to who else thought the alien troop ships looked like the Brunhild.  Of the
5 people who responded there was a 100% agreement in favor that they did.  I
guess we can make it 6 now! ^_^  I would love to somehow meet the people
responsible for the SFX in ID4 and ask them whether this similarity was really
intended or not.
