A Star Trek trivia thread

Message Bookmarked

Because I feel like being the biggest something on the sandboX, and I'll settle for "nerd."

Those who answer questions correctly get to pose their own questions (no more than 5 at a time). Number your questions cumulatively for easy reference. Do not consult sources that exist OUTSIDE OF YOUR (P-)BRANE.

I commence:

1. What tune does Data have trouble whistling?
2. Sisko once received a baseball card as a gift; whose image was on the baseball card? And for bonus crossover nerd points, what year and brand was the card?
3. What breakfast would Picard prefer to have with Dr. Crusher?
4. Into what Quadrant was Voyager flung? (Easy one!)
5. Kirk or Picard?

What was the name of Data's CAT, fules? Hint: it is a typically poor attempt at humor from our man.

Willie Mays!!!!!!! It was Willie Mays. BUT he did have a Buck Bokai card as well. Mark my words.

― Sharon Penny (VegemiteGrrrl), Friday, 8 December 2006 06:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Say Hey Willie is correct! Anyone for the bonus points? (What year/brand of card?)

Sharon, 69, and derrick, I await your questions!

― Donkey Kong New York (Lee), Friday, 8 December 2006 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I was watching an old episode of Star Trek last night, the one where Scotty gets shore leave to some pleasure planet and gets embroiled in murders! Anyway,I realised that the best job in Star Fleet is "Transporter Chief", all you have to do is turn the Transporter on and off, and I bet they get crazy money.
