that’s the funkyest coding error i’ve seen since the time i quoted nothing and replied to a post about monkeys in a thread about vampires! (actually that didn’t happen.

I also have a goatee in that universe and am from Venus) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-the-communicator-spoilers-maybe/136533.md?page=15) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-the-communicator-spoilers-maybe/136533.md?page=17)
