Dateline Starfleet Command
-------- --------- -------
On December 29, 1967, the world first saw "The Trouble with Tribbles."
At the end of that episode comes the following dialogue (paraphrased):
Kirk: ... You'll have to clean up all the tribbles on
K-7, Mr. Jones.
Cyrano: Kirk, friend Kirk, that's inhuman. It'll take
years!
Spock: 17.9 to be exact.
Well, folks, you guessed it. 17.9 years from that first airing of
TTWT brings us to November 23, 1985. I hereby declare that date
as National Tribble Day!

I'm going to leave my body to science fiction.
