STTNG, when the universal translators failed.

I saw that and it made me wonder if it was an April Fool's joke, a couple days late.

Very nice.

Confirmed: I am not a big nerdy nerd.

(But apparently I'm a big Simpsons nerd?)

Me either, I guess. Who'd 'a' thunk?

That askme thread has prompted me to make my first likely-to-be-deleted comment on any of mefi.

there was another good one in there ooga_booga that some mod deleted. Maybe putting one up with the explanations linked and explained fully would work, maybe not.

I am not a nerd but I play one at work.

Another nerd here. His arms unfolded.

Yes! :) So good. ooga_booga, I noticed your comment and understood the reference but didn't really get why it was applicable to the post in question (besides the obvious translation issues) until BTGOG pointed out the poster's username. Yay for TNG.

I am also a big nerdy nerd, clearly.
