#1 Why does every tech nerd feel compelled to reference everything to Star Trek or Star Wars? I just shake my head when I hear stuff like that.... reminds me of an ex-gfriend who talked about tv characters like they were real...

#2 We are real Mark, but it's a different universe. It's the one on the lower LeftNorth -2. BTW I killed StarTrek personally. I didn't realize there were so many dorks there, else I would have cancelled Seasame St. too.

#3 Because they ideas were invernted or made more public by Star Trek. It puts it in a frame of refernce for the non techie.

I don't know what the hell is up with the "Star Wars" references unless they are talking about a species like Wookies or Endorians. Not much "new" ideas exposed by any of those movies.
