	As everyone knows, many star trek episodes contain scientific
errors and anachronisms.  After all, no one is perfect, not even Spock.

	I'm a little embarassed to say that I don't remember the details
of my favorite error, except that it involves Kirk or Spock exclaiming
that something is "greater than one to the fourth power" (or something
like that).

	Other episodes contain dialogue or actions that are just not
in character for our heroes (notwithstanding the influence of sinister
forces).

	Why not post your favorite star trek errors, anachronisms or
pet peeves?  You may find that not everyone agrees with you!
