-insert Dr. Evil voice- Well it's true! It's true! I'm semi-trekkie. I'm quasi-trekkie. I'm the margarine of trekkie. I'm the Diet Coke of trekkie. Just one calorie, not trekkie enough.

-ahem- While I haven't seen the new Star Trek movie yet I'm super excited to do so and have heard wonderful things about it even from people who don't know Star Trek at all.

So if I haven't seen the movie yet what is the point of this journal. Well it's to illustrate my comments in the first paragraph. My mom asked my aunt if she saw the Star Trek quiz that was in the local paper that weekend. One of the questions of course had to do with those oh so famous Tribbles. I'm not sure what the question was but my mom goes onto explain that Tribbles are really attracted to kind people which probably explains why they reproduced so well on the Enterprise. So what did the crew finally do to be rid of them? Why transport them to a Klingon ship of course.

My aunt simply replies to my mother with a "you're lame." And I got to thinking. Who is more lame? My mom for knowing all that or me for knowing how funny it is to trasport creatures who are attracted to kind beings to a ship full of Klingons?
