Your friend shouldn't worry. The interviewer was asking your friend if she'd
ever been in a "Kobiashi Maru" type test. The Kobiashi Maru test is a no-win
situation. Basically your friend either blew the interview, won't be accepted
to medical school or will be accepted and have to go into hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of debt to pay for it, only to spend her life working with
sick people.

Must be where the expression "cool cat" comes from, eh?
So if we get a few dozen cats, we can cool the house in the summer.

For whatever it's worth, "Adonais" is a common transliteration
of the (a?) Hebrew word for "God".  As it was taught me, the "-ais"
rhymes with "eye".

Advance apologies to anyone who knows the correct phonetic spellings...

Hi!

I am looking for GIFs or the like of the  famous  Starfleet  logo
and the one of the Klingon Empire (or is it their navy?).

I've already looked among the ST gifs at pdq.coe.montana.edu, but
I didn't find anything there.

Any ideas where I can find it?  Thanks in advance.

Maybe, "Given the unidirectional nature of the space-time continuum, that is
unlikely"?

That sentiment was expressed in (I believe) the episode which Stewart directed
in which a blonde bimbette on the rebound was hot for Data.

I agree that Star Wars eventually had the New Hope title added above

out and have the movie burned into my brain! (yeow!)  There was NO
New Hope, no episode number,....Just the scrolling prologue to the movie.

I think you've seen the video version too many times.

   I assume it's the same rationale as on the old series- bajillions of 
years ago this super-race came through our sector of the universe, sowing 
the Seeds O'Life (tm) in the form of primitive protolifeforms that were set 
to eventually evolve into things like us... or that they simply picked up 
bipedal ancestors on a few planets and schlepped them elsewhere to 
propagate on other planets too.

   Dunno, tho.

No contest. The Vogon would beat them easily. All they have to do is open a
com channel and read their poetry to the Borg. Imagine the entire Borg  
Uni-Mind knawing its legs off. Then again, it might be Mutual Destruction 
since the Vogon intestines would act to save civilization and strangle the
Vogon brain. :)


Hey.... What about Data's poetry? It's not as bad, but it should diorientate
the Borg long enough to fry them. :)

the TOS episode "Who Mourns for Adonais":

The title is taken from a line in the poem "Adonais" written by Percy Shelley 
as a tribute to John Keats after Keats' death.  It has nothing to do with
the Greek god Adonis, especially since the Greek god in the episode was 
Apollo, not Adonis.

The title "Who Mourns for Adonis" appeared in the book "The Making of Star 
Trek"; it was a mistake.

You know, I like this one.  James Timmy Kirk.
 
Also, Spock TOLD us that humans couldn't pronounce his first name, but
actually he didn't want anyone to know that his real name is Lassie.
