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!

	When I die,
		I'm going to leave my body to science fiction.
