You might have noticed, that the Blog tag line is chosen randomly. And the more regular visitors (there are some, I hope) might also have seen that since two days there is new one. Namely: "If it doesn't work, hit it. If it's in your way, knock it down.", which is a cite from one of the best Star Trek Voyager episodes, '
Faces', in which the resident Klingon-Human,
B'Elanna Torres, is split up into a Klingon and a Human — so there are two B'Elannas in the episode, which is probably why it is one of the best
a.
Anyhow, I just recently watched this episode and picked up that line. The human B'Elanna is saying that to her Klingon counterpart. Actually she is saying:
That's the way you respond to every situation, isn't it? If it doesn't work, hit it. If it's in your way, knock it down.
Now, I was playing that scene a couple of time and taking notes on an old envelope which happened to lay around. Everything fine, I copied it correctly. But just now I had a look again at the envelope and saw that I actually wrote down something slightly different:
That's the way you respond to every situation, isn't it? If it doesn't work, it hit. If it's in your way, knock it down.
How often did you have to read it to spot the difference between the two versions? Now the weird thing is that my brain obviously corrected the error. Cool!?

Relativity'? Twice the Seven, twice the fun!
