Beam me up

Dr. Grumpy: "Is that Cochran with or without an E on the end?"

Mr. Trek: "No E."

Dr. Grumpy: "Okay."

Mr. Trek: "Zefram Cochrane has an E at the end."

Dr. Grumpy: "Who's that?"

Mr. Trek: "Sheesh. He invented the warp drive in 2063."

    O, the things you're supposed to know........


    .........You know what, grumpy -- I'm not submitting any more comments -- your verify captcha is too difficult -- is that a river or a pond? i can see a bridge, but is there a river underneath it or maybe just a road-- is there a river in that valley? is that a store front or someone's house with cars parked in front of it?Not sure my neurons can cope. But i will still keep reading you.
    Darn, and now my verification has expired and I have to do it all over again

    Oh wait, this sort of conversation is unusual for most people, isn't it?

    Oh dear, I always thought it was Zephram Cochrane, but Google says you are right and I am wrong.

    What, don't you know about the statue and where it will stand in the future? What do they teach you these days in medical school?

    You don't get the captchas if you're signed it, at least with Google+. I just check the 'I'm not a robot' box.

    What disturbs me about this guy is him: referencing it like a real event, and: referring to it in the past. Die-hard fan, time traveler, or someone who needs a referral to the mind treaters?
