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.

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...
