Quote:
I didn�t get to see this most recent presidential debate, but I
read an interesting article about it beforehand. Apparently, the
only qualification for these �undecided voters� was to have told
Gallup that yes, they might still vote for the other guy. That
seems like a pretty flimsy qualification. After all, even I might
still vote for the other guy. I might have a seizure in the voting
booth and fill in the wrong circle. So, it would have been quite
possible to pack the debate with extremely biased questions, one
way or the other. But then I thought, why go to all that trouble
of infiltrating a debate and waste it on a partisan exercise,
especially when you could use it to ask some questions that
really matter?
So I present, the Town Hall Geek Debate.
Question: Senator Kerry, in Star Trek (original series) episode
39, Kirk and Uhura take the turbolift to Sickbay, and it�s clear
from the light panel that they have gone to deck 12, but it has
been well established that Sickbay was on deck 7. How do you
explain this discrepancy?
Fantasy debate answers to this and several other SF-nal-type questions
at the page linked to above.
