Hello World!

Should I be ashamed? I just took an online quiz 'How Geek Are you?'

I run a Star Trek web site and I only got 28%. Apparently I can converse with both none-geeks and ultima-nerds, as shown by the following example:

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.

You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!

Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!

You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Tomorrow's Television Listings

• At 8:00pm (7:00pm Central), UPN will be showing the Enterprise epsiode 'Acquisition'. Here's how the official site describes the episode:

  When the Ferengi, a group of intergalactic thieves, stun the Enterprise crew and try to rob the ship, it's up to Trip to work covertly to stop them. After the Ferengi awaken the Captain to force his assistance in pillaging his ship, Trip secretly reveals to Archer that he has inadvertently escaped the effects of the noxious gas and they work together to try to surreptitiously thwart the robbery and save the crew.

  An hour later, 'Oasis' will be shown.

  While exploring a crashed vessel on a desolate planet, the Enterprise crew is haunted by some ghostly figures, and they encounter an alien race that has survived despite insurmountable odds. Trip helps repair their derelict vessel and is befriended by Liana, an attractive humanoid alien who develops feelings for him.
