Spaced Out

In 1966, the original Star Trek debuted.

When Captain Kirk first flipped open his communicator to contact the Enterprise I remembered musing, 'Wow. Wouldn't it be neat to be able to talk to someone with a wireless hand-held device like that?'

Fast forward to today and it's not such a marvelous thing! Practically everyone walks around with a cell phone these days.


Camel Trek


The president is talking to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran.

Ahmadinejad says, "My son likes to watch your American television. He especially likes something called Star Trek. I have watched this myself and noticed that the crew is multi-racial; there is a black lady, a Russian, a Scotsman and an Asian, but there are no Muslims, why is this?

The president smiles and says "That's easy .... Star Trek is set in the future!"


Fantasy

A man browses around a bookstore for half an hour or more before going up to a clerk.

"Excuse me," he says. "I'm looking for a book called 'The Perfect Marriage.'"

Says the clerk, "Have you looked in the Science Fiction section?"

Sci-Fi Geek Pick-up Lines

"Someone must have shot you with a phaser set on 'stunning.'"

- "I can't help it -- my eyes are trapped in the gravitational field of your breasts!!"

- "Nice Asimov."

- "Not only can I beam you aboard, I can beam you a woody."

- "Earth woman, prepare to be probed!"

- "Is that a spare Vulcan ear in your pocket or... well, I'm just asking because some jerk in the parking lot pulled off one of my Vulcan ears."

- "Hey, baby. I own Microsoft."

- "Your mouth says, 'Shields up!', but your eyes say, 'A hull breach is imminent.'"
