Ten Things we learned from Star Trek

[Cloud9Gal]

* There's never enough power to run away and keep your shields up at the same time.

* Women from other worlds are strangely attracted to pot-bellied ham actors.

* Asked how long to fix the warp core, overestimate the time by at least a day.

* Klingons have yet to discover Oil of Olay.

* Betazoid powers are obviously ineffective during poker games.

* All warp engines can exceed design specifications if you really need them to.

* You can find parking in San Francisco.

* Never ask an android or a Vulcan for a neck rub.

* No matter how many starships you lose as a captain, you'll be given another one.

* If Kirk, Spock, and McCoy need a fourth for a landing party, don't volunteer. You'll die!

Never go down to the planet wearing a red shirt! They always die!

[Allen]

All engines can exceed design specifications if you really need them to, just not warp engines.

so true... :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

[Snuffy]

The title of this thread is wrong ... it should be 11 things.

The 11th one being, no matter how rediculous they make a series there will be some million odd folks that will take every bit of it to heart as though it were all real.

May Star Trek live long and always prosper!
Just don't ever need the transporter to work if there's trouble.

Love it! lololol....

I always like the one, 'if there's a major problem, ejecting the warp core will always solve it'.:ernae:

[MaddogK]

If things don't work out the way you want them, don't worry, you can always jump back in time and fix it.

If the Enterprise is destroyed starfleet will always give the Captain another one- named Enterprise.

Starfleet cooks are 'redundant equipment' as the replicator always cooks better.

The transporter always works well, except when you really need it.

There seems to be more ships in star trek than cars on present day earth.

Klingons REALLY know how to party.

The prime directive means nothing when Terrans are involved.

25th century music sucks.

Robots are more expensive than starships.

I prefer the 'original' Shakespear to the Terran translations.

...and yet no one warned against collecting "Tribbles" yet?

Now that I am older these alleged creatures look like nothing more than piles of bad toupees! Some I bet, in a previous life, were merely scalps left over from a few B westerns!

Budget I guess...

Hamster dance music...

It's like a Borg.. It won't die.

* Women from other worlds are strangely attracted to pot-bellied ham actors...

That line made me remember this picture... :icon_lol:

Never fight Captain Kirk in the presence of a loose duranium rod, he will find it and he will beat you senseless with it.

Corollary: Any place Captain Kirk fights does contain at least one loose duranium rod... or the parts to make a cannon. That's why he's the Captain. :)

[GT182]

And summed up by... "Chit Happens". No matter what century. ;)

And, the proper way to fix any malfunction is to run a bypass through the main matter-anti-matter containment flux control valve multiplexer, so that you can then route the phase inducers through the positronic impulse grid. Heck, everyone knows that!

Of course you would have to divert extra power away from the impulse engines first. Otherwise the tachyon beam would be too narrow and weak to reverse the polarity! :icon_lol:


When I was a kid watching the original Star Trek reruns, my father would always get a big kick out of the "technical" jargon if he wandered into the room at the right moment. That and Mr. Spock was always a funny thing to him.

OMG what a laugh. And the memories... They had the first flip-top cellphones (although I prefer the German name for them - they're called "Handies" here - not a bad name, considering a non-native speaker thought it up... I can hear it now... "Hmmmm that's handy!"

And the tribbles! Remember Gonks folks? I wonder what came first...

Or those sexy green-skinned ladies with the BIG hair.

And even the Enterprise had trouble navigating in clouds - especially when the clouds talked back.

Of course, you do know why the Enterprise is like good toilet paper...

... both remove Klingons!

And there's this too:
