A movie so horrible that not only was it a critical and box office epic fail, but its producer, Franchise Pictures, was convicted in court over it due to a scam in which the film's budget was overstated. Not to mention an indelible scar in John Travolta's career. And cult status for the movie in the future? HAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Travel between star systems - which may someday be do-able but given that even our closest star is 4.6 light years away it is something that will require technology and resources that we can only dream of by today's standards.

A dismal Major League Baseball team that despite a move from Montreal, still hasn't gotten over the 1994 baseball strike.
Given that the Nationals (then Expos) went 74-40 in 1994 and were tied for the best record in baseball before the strike, the loss of morale led to season after season of dismay.

The name of the logo in the Xbox 360 hit Gears of War. It consists of a blood-covered skull incased within a blood-covered COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) logo. These appear in the single player mode wherever a COG tag is to be found, as well as in multiplayer as a health meter (the more apparent the symbol appears on the screen, the closer you are to being downed).
The Gears of War icon that appears on your Gamercard showing you played the game is the Crimson Omen.
