...you’re a single guy, and you can’t seem to land a girlfriend. You are totally nonplussed at the lack of attention you receive from girls—after all, who can resist a guy who produces his own podcast touting Captain Kirk over Captain Picard and is fluent in four languages, including Elfish? Even with these credentials, however, you find that the most interaction you have with girls at Harvard occurs when you stand next to them in line at the dining hall...

TEEN VULCAN? Get your polyester jumpsuits out of storage! Star Trek is not gone; it's just a little off orbit. Paramount announced the 11th Trek movie, to be directed by Mission: Impossible III tyro J.J. Abrams. And--you may want to sit down for this--Spock and Kirk are back. The film will center on the Starfleet Academy days of the duo, originally played by William Shatner and LEONARD NIMOY.

...best I could over the weekend.” That Ogunwole, the fifth ranked heavyweight entering the Championship, was expected to succeed does not detract from his effort to place. His path there was not an easy one. After losing his first match to Ohio State’s Kirk Nail, 4-3, on Thursday, Ogunwole had to win his next four matches Friday to secure All-America status.

...votes of confidence in the New Zealand economy." Gosh! Aside from questions a visitor might have about the economic value of the Kiwi cult of selling second-hand stuff to each other, it's also tempting to ask whether the sale would have happened without the involvement of expatriate Kirk. Did the connection help Morgan get in the door or secure a great price? Did Kirk see something in Trade Me that his Australian competitors (or his Fairfax predecessor) missed?
