I can waste hours on that site without noticing!

(Though I was recently led to two very good bands by it; I looked up Nick Cave and Creature Feature, which I saw when I was entering Molly Rath's name on the "Enfante Terrible" page's WebOriginal subheading.)

I read the biology one once, but before that I bought and devoured "The Physics of Star Trek", which was somewhat more interesting.

The Doc... as a father. No. We saw what happened when he created a holographic family - that was enough. Then again, he's grown up since then.

If you want to be technical, though, he could use Lewis Zimmerman's DNA - provided Lewis lets him - as they are identical in appearance, at least. Going into the differences would start long discussions on consciousness, experience and souls, which is too much for me at the moment - I'm hungry. ;)

Probably because the agents are too worn out or on missions too often to practice together.

I'll file that away under "Things I Hope To Someday Need To Know" ;) Cheers.

It's the 4chan moron(s) again. I'm also pretty sure that whoever it is is on the other side of the Atlantic from me, so I don't know what I can do.

You, or I, if there's an issue, cna use my Neopets account. It's been years since I actually used the thing, but it should be enough to let you report to the Admin of the place.
And if it's making you uncomfortable, and you've asked them to stop, it is illegal. It's mental and emotional abuse, and even if it occurs over a cyber setting, it's still illegal.

That's the link to report abuse and all that. My username is Articblade, password is Laburnum00. Let me know when you're done, so I can delete the account.

... probably waits until you've got a baby-bump, by which time hot water bottles are probably okay :)

I've read one of those books- the title was "Life Signs: The Biology Of Star Trek." I found it on my school library shelf and my inner nerd started turning somersaults of sheer glee.

Writers do have a tendency to slip up. For instance, they implied that Voyager's EMH could reproduce. The lines weren't integral to the plot in any way, but:

The Doctor has learned to experience emotion and is technically solid, thus enabling him to pursue the... attendant pursuits of some emotions, but how on earth could a hologram have gametes or other forms of viable genetic information? And even if they could, why? (On second thought... I don't particularly want the "why" bit answered.)

I'll email you the song. :)

I can't find a suitable place to report it, because what they're sending me isn't technically illegal, just annoying and creepy.

Some idiot has signed me up for two hundred unwanted Neopets accounts and is using obscene language on them. Something's wrong with the login so I can't log into them and delete them, the Help FAQs won't let you read them unless you're logged in, and the email forms with which you're supposed to ask for help don't cover this situation.

This has happened before so I want to actually get the police involved now. Does anyone know where I can report it?

With pate it's the fact it's made from liver that marks it as off-limits. Too much vitamin A is bad for baby.

Was in the pub with a friend the other day, asked for a couple of vodkas complete with mixers and ice. The pregnant barmaid managed to totally forget whether she'd put vodka in mine, and chucked a couple of extra shots in just to make sure. She blamed it on the being pregnant. I didn't care because it was free vodka.

You can have warm ones, and they might soothe your back pains. But really hot ones are out. My sister was complaining about such when I was visiting her a few weeks ago, and was having the hottest baths possible while she still could. The fact that she was unknowingly up the duff then and still is now suggests the hot baths won't automatically do away with the sprog.

These Tv Tropes entries will explain why.

When I was seven, I declared for the world to hear that I was going to walk down the aisle in jeans.

Still, pure light blue wouldn't suit me either; a mix of white, mid-blue and a forest green... that appeals to me.

And I'm off to check out etiquettehell.com!

If I had back pains all the time I'd want hot water treatments just to soothe it - scratch that; I DO want hot water all the time when I have back pains.

Something to keep in mind, I guess.

But that just means I have to find a lawyer willing to accept cake as payment!

that any hot water that makes it, er, back up the plumbing, as it were, might boil the sprog, or at least flush it out from the uterine lining.

I suppose also the act of sitting in a hot bath might raise your internal temperature enough to boil the sprog that way too...

Can be only a few hours (generally in the morning), but can last pretty much all day. It's highly individual.

Which, again, is a license to do whatever suits your plot :P

Not only is it a lot of fuss, it's also mostly illegal in most parts of my home country the way my sexuality is going. xD Also I can't stand formality, and any jewelry I wear gets lost or broken within a day except for ear studs which are basically stuck in my ear. So yeah...

*OT post is OT*

I've added you on MSN - I'm fanwriter_sedri@hotmail.com. mp3 is fine, though you might just want to do it by emiail, as I'm not sure we'll ever be online at the same time - time zones and all that.

Do you know there are a few books out that try to rationalise the science of Star Trek? They're not bad; it's fun to try and make logic out of fantasy. For instance, Vulcans and Romulans have green blood, right? Well, the book rationalises that since ou blood is red due to the iron oxidising, then Vulcans must have copper-based blood, since copper turns green when in contact with oxygen.

Of course, that completely kills the logic of an early TNG episode (can't remember the name) in which a Romulan's life can only be saved if Worf agrees to donate some bit of biology, because a body that depends on copper-based blood would probably have a hell of a lot more problems trying to work with something used to iron-based blood, but that's just babble.

I like Geordi's tech babble, though. And B'Elanna's. The song sounds like fun - I look forward to it!

(And I, too, will now cease taking up so much space.)
