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. ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!mcnc!unc!black (usenet) black%unc@csnet-relay.csnet (arpanet) ----------------------------------
