    I see neither numbers nor methodology in that posting. The link I provided has been collecting numerics for years. To refute it something similar that actually provides real numbers and which provides something more than a single instance in time would be needed.

    Sounds like a lot of the speech they used was quite threatening, given the lack of free speech in England, you'd think they could be arrested. Then again, if they wan't to publicly declare their allegiance, it makes the job of the intelligence agencies that much easier...

    Ian Shlasko wrote: Though Roddenberry outdid Lucas on his second attempt) Strictly speaking, Roddenberry was bumped his position of overall control on ST-I when Paramount freaked out about trying to make a movie of a TV show and hired William Wise as director. Wise was responsible for blowing the budget on SFX and for insisting that they all appear in the movie. Both Star Wars and Close Encounters were blockbusters with lots of SFX, so, obviously ST:TMP needed to be filled with lots of bells and whistles - and enough plot to have filled a 1-hr TV show nicely - indeed it already had, since "The Changeling" in season 2 had the same semi-Frankenstein and the monster plot. Roddenberry was tarred with the same brush as Wise by Paramount, however, when the movie barely broke even, and had no control on ST:TWOK. Harve Bennet and Nick Meyer deserve all the credit for saving the franchise. $(John Resig).unwrap(Mozilla Corporation).wrap(Khan Academy).live(jQuery);

    Let's get more tasteless. Why did Michael Jackson turn down $10,000,000 to advertise for McDonalds? Because he doesn't find obese children at all sexually appealing. If you are unfamiliar with America's Funnyman this is a great description with some of his jokes. However, they don't read as well, unless it is his character performing it: http://www.philosophyblog.com.au/neil-hamburger-jokes/[^] Craigslist Troll: litaly@comcast.net "I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

    DAMMIT! I need another 10,000 rounds of 5.56 and .45 ammo, and I was scheduling my purchasing around 12/21/2012. There's NO WAY I can order that much at one time without getting the attention of certain government agencies that mauy or may not exist. DAMMIT TO HELL!
