Fontana), Spock's father Sarek is 102.437 TERRESTRIAL years old. One notes that specifying the age to this precision (10^-3 yrs) implies that Sarek (the one who gives the age) knows his age with an uncertainty of approximately 8 hrs and 46 minutes. One would think he'd know his date and time of birth more precisely, being the hard- guy Vulcan that he is. George Raiche Dept. of Chemistry Dartmouth "Are you trying to be funny?" "Never."
