    Should they[^], by supply and demand, not be cheaper? And why do they need batteries instead of eating all my grain? At least they can purr or shriek at Klingons.

    I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

    Partially eaten fruit taught us that "things" can be unreasonably expensive :-D.

    I am not the one who knocks. I never knock. In fact, I hate knocking.

      You have a partially eaten fruit that works as a teacher?

        Wipe them out! Tribbles are considered mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire! (Worf said so)

        Trials and Tribble-ations[^]:

        Worf further explains that the Empire considered tribbles to be an ecological menace and that many warriors were sent out to kill any and all tribbles that they could find. Once the tribble homeworld was located, a Klingon armada obliterated it. According to Worf, tribbles were considered extinct by the end of the 23rd century, which Odo sarcastically calls "another glorious chapter in Klingon history," and then proceeds to ask Worf mockingly, "Tell me, do they still sing songs about The Great Tribble Hunt?"

        Would that not automatically make them natural allies of the Romulans?

          Not necessarily, the Romulans and Klingons have worked together before, particularly during the Dominion War, when they were part of the Alliance against the Cardassian / Alpha Jem'hadar forces.

            Several of my school teachers could have been replaced with fruit to no noticeable effect. A Kumquat for example would probably have done a better job than my 2nd & 3rd year History teacher, though a Mango would probably have been too distracting.

                  :sigh: Unplayable on Win 10 - it's just tooo slow and clunky. Pity, that was one of my favourites on Win7.

                    One of my teachers was from Texas and kept on talking about his time in the Navy. A sea cucumber, presumably.

                      At least the Romulans became really popular as soon as the first Borg cube appeared and they had a squadron of Warbirds ready. 36 little Klingon scouts (= four squadrons) also did the job if they already had cloaking devices.

                        If you wanna save money buy a furby, roll it into a ball (body over the mouth/eyes), pull off the ears and sew it up... or just put a vibrator mini personal massager into a fluffy slipper.

                                      That's ok. As far as I know you just are not nerdy enough for that. But I have heard that a Disney fairy tale about space wizards against space nazis is desperately looking for an audience. How about that one? (And get me one of those tribbles. I think he is a Klingon agent)

                                      I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                                        One squad of Ferengi veteran Marauders (D'Kora-class) will take out a Borg cube as well. And latinum is rarely a problem to buy them with! :laugh:

                                        Thank you. The Tal Shiar will send some operatives to take care of that. Who do you want to have framed? The Federation? The Klingons?

                                          Should they[^], by supply and demand, not be cheaper? And why do they need batteries instead of eating all my grain? At least they can purr or shriek at Klingons.
