Star Trek: The Sexed Generation
Offered without comment, except that there are worse ways for you to spend a few minutes than to watch this montage. Safe for work, despite the title and the unfortunate still-frame.

Groundhog Day ^ 2

I've been thinking (always a bad idea). There's loads of scope for different stories that all use the same premise as the movie Groundhog Day—reliving the same day repeatedly until you do something right or find a way to fix whatever is happening. There's the movie itself; the Stargate SG-1 episode where Jack and Teal'c continuously relive the same day; the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode with Kelsey Grammer and the temporal causality loop; and any number of other stories that have and haven't been written.
It's a setup that works with any character in any setting. There are tons of possibilities for ways that different people would deal with the situation, adapt to it, and ultimately try to solve it. It could be an entire genre unto itself.
Imagine if you had to keep reliving the same day until you wrote the best story in that genre.

Geek Alert: Greek Grammar in Star Trek
Remember that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Data constructs a female "android" to be his daughter? Shouldn't she have been referred to as a "gynoid"? Either that or they should both be called "anthroids".

This poster (actually a collection of A4 printouts—clearly someone didn't manage to find one of the larger printers) is a couple of floors below where I work. I spotted it on the way to a meeting.

That is the nerdiest thing that I have ever seen … I love it! I hope you shook the hand of the man that put it up?!
Shack'a, when the walls fell!

holy shit, awesome!

The fact that I immediately recognized this proves how pathetic I truly am…Thanks for the reminder!:-)

This is so great. I want one!! Kudos to the person who put it on the wall. xD

Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic!

Oh god, someone get that on a bumper sticker immediately.

it took me a few seconds, but that is pretty hilarious

That's awesome! I bet only 0.0001% of passers-by got the reference.
Tue, 12th Aug 2008 (20:30)
and yet i bet at least 20% of internetters got it.
what does that say about us? i am concerned now.

Chaka, When the Walls Fell! Yeah we geeks recognize our own language. When I think of this upcoming election I think of that quote. I'm amazed at how we are stuck with the two candidates that we now have. One is an old fool and the other is a socialist that doesn't even know that we have 50 states. How did America get in this mess? Not joking on this by the way, google 'Obama's 57 states' and get sick at these creatures. It is a 30 second video that will open your eyes on at least one of our stellar candidates.

Happened upon this while Stumbling through the Internet. AWESOME! and Hilarious. And Geeky. So awesome all over again.

Dude, lay off the 57 states thing. He said he'd visited 57 instead of 47-- He was tired as hell.
If you're going to jump on Obama for a simple mistake, why not jump on McCain for his references to Czechoslovakia?

I tried so hard to block my Trekkie ways. But when I see a Darmok reference…
Back to rehab I go. Man, that's good stuff there.

don't ruin this awesome picture by talking in depth about politics!

His sails, unfurled.

Awesome. Jhalad, his eyes are open this episode recently, I have it on my harddisk. Downloaded from stage6 Shaka when the walls fell :(

Just an FYI that that's a "block poster" You can generate them at [www d0t blockposters d0t com] if you're too lazy to do it yourself (it ouputs as a PDF for easy saving/printing)

Technically, shouldn't it be: Picard and Dathan at El Adrel? Still - its the greatest thing ever.

I actually read the Epic of Gilgamesh because of this episode of Star Trek. Of course I recognized this immediately and I'm shocked by how brilliantly funny this is.
Sun, 17th Aug 2008 (04:34)
its sad that i know this.

Temba, his arms wide (I want this poster)

Excellent obscure (for most people) reference. A friend and I used this as our private joke for years, especially for voice mail messages. I think this was hands down the worst episode of STTNG. What do you guys think?

I would just like to ask how one could possibly be opposed to socialism, unless of course you were greedy rich bastard.
Mon, 18th Aug 2008 (17:30)
@ health service is the shit
most people /are/ greedy. I haven't found one wealth socialist, and that's because they want to keep their wealth. Why? because they've earned it.
I agree that people should be rewarded for their work. But the thing is that money doesn't motivate me. acknowledgement by my peers, and/or industry experts is why I strive to be good at what I do.
If people realize that there are greater things than money (improving one's self, and society), then socialism becomes a more realistic goal.
