Did Captain Kirk's Drinking Habits Predict His Future Weight Gain?

In summary, a study found that Captain Kirk's drinking habits, specifically his preference for Romulan ale, may have predicted his future weight gain. The study used a mathematical model to analyze Kirk's drinking patterns and found that his consumption of Romulan ale, which has a high caloric content, likely contributed to his weight gain over time. This suggests that even in the future, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to weight gain and other health issues.

I love it! It makes me think of Easy Rider from the 23rd century.

Who recognizes every scene immediately?

Scary, huh?

Living with Tsu, working on CT scanners, and watching re-runs of Star Trek for the seventh time?

I enjoyed the Picard song but I think it goes on a tad too long.



He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence...

I particularly like that bit :smile:

:redface: yeah.

This video has 3 classic Star Trek parodies. One from SNL, one from In Living Color, and one from The Wonder Years:



The Wonder Years scene is priceless! (take note, sisters.) :wink:

Studying nuclear and astrophysics, watching Star Trek reruns occasionally, and . . . . well doing things I can't go into. :biggrin:

y'know, I was wondering, should we call these people "authors" or "editors" or what?

I settled on 'author' after discarding 'producer' (too stuffy), 'creator' (too holy) and 'tuber' (too obscure and/or vegetably). I thought 'author' allowed for most flexibility of connotation.

vegetably! :smile: :smile: :smile:

How about tubists? :biggrin:

Absolutely brilliant! (Sorry, Janus - I couldn't think of a better way to put it.) Thanks.

I found this thread last night, and when I played the video over and over while singing along off-key, my wife, who has never heard of Jefferson Airplane, thought that I had lost it completely. My four-month old daughter thoroughly enjoyed sitting in my lap my, listening to my singing (too young to be a critic), and watching the video, though.

A couple of interesting connections come to mind.

When part of Jefferson Airplane morphed into Jeffereson Starship in the early seventies, I suppose the starships from Star Trek inspired the name.

Also, there was an early seventies made-for-TV movie called http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucS-J60ShF0". Look for William Shatner as the father at about the 55 second mark. I'm not familiar with the song played in the video.

Wasn't the original Star Trek's "White Rabbit" episode the most ridiculed? No wonder they call it dope!

That was "Shore Leave", and that was a great episode compared to the purely laughable mess that was the legendary "Spock's Brain" (3rd season, of course).

I remember reading that book when I was a kid. I didn't know they had made a movie out of it. LOL - Shatner's so versatile.:smile:
