On a little side note, how many of us got a hoot and a holler out of Picard’s remark that went something like, “much like Fermat’s Last Theorem, we may never know the answer” at the very end of “The Royale” episode? This even got a mention in Wikipedia. I still giggle about that fictional futuristic anachronism (I think that’s an oxymoron).

Picard and Fermat
Friday, December 7th, 2007Inspirational Alignment
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007Call me a geek, but I do find the D&D motivational poster spoofs very funny. I made a poster that combined the nine D&D alignments for my brother.
Lawful good – Superman
Lawful neutral – Judge Dredd
Lawful evil – Emporer Palpatine
Neutral good – Batman
True neutral – Ash
Neutral evil – Darth Vader
Chaotic good – Minsk
Chaotic neutral – Jack Torrance
Chaotic evil – Norman Bates
Now, you may disagree with the alignment of one or a few of those characters, and you may think of better examples of the alignments. However, if you recognize the reference of all nine of those characters, you truly are a geek and a master of obscurity.
