Anyone out there read the novelization of ST3 carefully?
The author has slipped in a wonderful pun, having nothing
to do with ST.

Read through the scene where Uhura commandeers the Old City
Transport Station from the young lieutenant.  In the book,
his name is Heisenberg.  Somewhere in that scene, the
author writes (not an exact quote):

  "Heisenberg was the one factor of uncertainty in this
   equation."

When it hit me, I nearly fell off the chair laughing.
