About halfway down, there's a cool little Java box that runs through various Star Trek technology vs actual science.

I always chuckle when things like "warp drives" are blown off by scientists because of the theory of relativity. Its a theory for a reason. I'm not saying it'll be proven wrong, but scientists are proven wrong every day.

The continuity of TNG is laughably scattered and inconsistent. It's not a reflection on the bad-assery of the characters, it's a slam on the shitty, haphazard writing. By the way, fuck DS9, the Hillary of Star Treks.

You sarcastic fucks can stick your sarcasm so deep up your sarcastic asses that you need a Fannie Mae loan to pay for the operation to have it removed, but then they can't get to it and it causes an intestinal blockage and you die horrible, painful deaths due to toxic shock. I haven't seen the image, wherever it must be.

Gordon's ass is such a gaping maw from having so many guys pound it over the years that he often finds squatters in there, and thus, believes it to be a home.
