Did you know that Danone Actimel (kinda yoghurt) protects you against microscopic Mycons?
Or that Goofy flies with Penetrator?

There is also the hypnotoad (http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Hypnotoad), as noted before (http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=1651.0).

I can't find it right now but Babylon 5 had a transport ship that resembled quite closely an Earthling Cruiser.

That's because the Cruiser is direct descendant of starship Enterprize of Star Treck . As are Ilwrath and VUX .

Really? The Ilwrath looks nothing like the Enterprise, the VUX barely.

They're based on other ships from Star Trek.

Vux = Klingon D-7 Class
lwrath = Klingon Bird of Prey

Ilwrath resembles Romulan Warbird bit more from the top side view .

Ferengi ship actually.  Just the nose seems different. Google image "ferengi ship" first two results should be a dead give away.

Not that the Ferengi ship is that original; I mean, even the Yehat has a resemblance, if you chop off the Ferengi's nose.

Yep , Ferengi it is :)

I always thought the top-down, outline view of the Mycon resembled the Millennium Falcon -- minus the cockpit.

The Yehat vaguely resembles a klingon bird of brey as well.

Oh, and there is a ship that resembles an Arilou in Babylon 5:

It has a little weapon underneath, like the Arilou. Oh, and you'll notice that the aliens also resemble the "greys". So... basically Arilou. Not sure if this qualifies as "rip-off" since greys in flying saucers already existed in the public mind before SC2.

I was all for this up until that line. >_<
