  1. Too clever for me. (Well mostly because although the first guy looks familiar, I don't know his name.) George
  2. One would be hard-pressed, I think, to believe that the exclusion of all those anti-promiscuity scriptures was inadvertent. George
  3. Right. "Unnatural Selection." The kids' immune systems trigger rapid aging in everyone else. Pulaski and Data investigate in a shuttle, and Pulaski gets afflicted. The solution is to "fix" her in the transporter, but they have no genetic data, since she never used the transporter. Data and Geordi find a hair in a hairbrush that they can use to set the transporter buffer. At the end, the Enterprise obliterates the Langtree. One of my favorite exchanges was between Pulaski and Data, but it doesn't come across well in print. Pulaski refers to him as "Deah-ta," which he corrects to "Day-ta." "Deah-ta, Day-ta, what difference does it make?" "One is my name, and the other is not!" You're up, Mr. Wolf. George
  4. About the closest that I ever heard to a condemnation of extramarital sex from any higher-up in TWI was when Mrs. Wierwille was in Houston as part of a leadership weekend. Someone outraight asked her if premarital sex was okay, and her response was "If the world says it's right, it probably isn't." George
  5. "If this hadn't worked, it would have been necessary to beam your energy into empty space–" "– and spread my atoms across the galaxy!" "Yes, I'm sorry, it–" "No, no, don't be sorry. Every time I get into the damn thing I'm convinced that's what's going to happen." "Scientists believe no experiment is a failure. That even a mistake advances the evolution of understanding. -... - But all achievement has a price. For one brief glimpse of the mysterious blueprint of human evolution, the men and women of the USS Lantree paid with their lives. Their sacrifice is thus noted in this scientists log." "Doctor... God knows I'm not one to discourage input, but I would appreciate it if you'd let me finish my sentences once in a while." "Medical research is sometimes a risky business. It's all part of being human." George
  6. Yes. And from that you might guess that the Roman was Nero. George
  7. Just a grammatical point here, folks: an inference is something drawn from a statement. An implication is something given. In other words, Dr. Juedes might have implied something by his statement, or you might have inferred something from what he said. You give an implication; you take an inference. George
  8. Sidekicks Joe Piscopo Johnny Dangerously George
  9. We'll try another one. Hopefully, no one will jump in with the answer and then not post the next clue. "The chips say you're a cheater, cheater pumpkin eater!" "Good morning detectives, collecting money for the Policeman's ball?" "We don't have balls." "I honestly have no response to that." George
  10. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. C.S. Lewis George
  11. When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic. - Benjamin Franklin George
  12. Try this one instead: four pics, three names George
  13. "Doctor... God knows I'm not one to discourage input, but I would appreciate it if you'd let me finish my sentences once in a while." "Medical research is sometimes a risky business. It's all part of being human." George
  14. OOOOPS! I've re-set this puzzle in TV Pictionary. George
  15. Correct. And, yeah, why Chicago? George
  16. Always seemed to be an anti-TWI site to me (with rooms for a lot of other discussions). George
  17. I know I don't. (I guess there is sort of a "I will gladly pay you Tuesday..." theme, though.) Not I. Not the city, not the song, not the movie. And I grew up there! George
  18. Let's see. Someone seems to be whipping sweet potatoes. Or beating. Or pureeing. Or M*A*S*H ing them. George
