Star Trek red shirt myth exploded, plus more

[delphipsmith]

Those of you with a mathy turn of mind will be interested to know that it's actually command gold that loses the highest percentage of its wearers, not the stereotypical expendable red shirts. But sciences and engineering are still the safest. Go Spock!

And since we're in a Star Trek moment, please enjoy the ten most awesome things that happened during ST:TNG's 25th reunion. (TWENTY FIVE. Wow do I feel old. So imagine how Jonathan Frakes feels!!)

Also, Patrick Stewart has made the NRA's enemy list (and is apparently quite proud of it). He's also been attacked by some sort of squid/fruit hybrid, but I'm sure there's no connection.

Oh, and Mississippi finally banned slavery.

That is all.

So imagine how Jonathan Frakes feels!!

All that sex appeal, and ethical too -- wot a deal!

Rather sadly, slavery was banned here since the ooh c 18th but times have progressed so far we've had to make it illegal so we can prosecute people for doing it. Ain't progress grand?

Much like god, the law moves in strange and mysterious ways...

What a great, Trektastic roundup! Giggling and getting misty-eyed all at the same time. (25? Really??)

Also, I didn't think Maya Angelou could be anyone's enemy....

"Trektastic" is the word of the day :)

There goes the red shirt myth...

The ten most awesome things are brilliant - also I love that Michael Dorn is a Vegan.

That's a good list to be on. I just saw that Leonard Nimoy is on it too. ~iz proud of both of them~

I know, right? It's like a list of all my favorite people :)

The RMRs for the various shirt colors on Star Trek is valuable information, thank you.

Re: the NRA--shades of Nixon.

Nice of Mississippi to join the 19th century at last.

I believe arge swaths of the American South still retain the belief that they're a different country...

Buddha hand lemons are so bizarre.

Oh, so THAT's what it is! I'm so glad to know, because I really had no idea :D
